I can get a stack trace from the coredump - but it doesn't show line numbers.
I can also get interesting information from valgrind - but it doesn't give me
line numbers either.

.... and I'm not really eager to set up some KDevelop project:
- Getting an existing project to compile in yet another IDE typically sucks.
- Getting it to compile in an IDE you don't know sucks even more.
- Getting it to compile in an IDE you haven't even installed (ever) sucks like
crazy.
- Getting it to compile in an IDE that, by its name, seems to require a GUI
(KDE) you haven't even installed (ever) promises to be really sucking like
hell.
If I had my way, I'd prefer that sneaky piece of software to crash on my Windows
machine as well, where I have a nice, familiar IDE at hand and a project already
set up for it :S
