This is really quite odd - looking at the debug output, the frames in the 
middle are really just skipped for some reason:

unwind: access_mem addr 0x7ffca0a88330, val 4edc50, offset 2808
unwind: access_mem addr 0x7ffca0a88338, val 7f69bfce443a, offset 2816
unwind: pc: = 0x7f69c10fecde
found map: 7f69c1007000 7f69c1766000
dso found: libQt5Gui.so.5.8.0 /usr/lib/libQt5Gui.so.5.8.0
reported: libQt5Gui.so.5.8.0 /usr/lib/libQt5Gui.so.5.8.0, 1
unwind: QGuiApplicationPrivate::init():ip = 0x7f69c10fecde (0xf7cde)

-> so far so good, this frame is properly found inside libQt5Gui, but then:

unwind: pc: = 0x7f69bfce4439
found map: 7f69bfcc4000 7f69c0069000
dso found: libc-2.25.so /usr/lib/libc-2.25.so
reported: libc-2.25.so /usr/lib/libc-2.25.so, 1
unwind: __libc_start_main:ip = 0x7f69bfce4439 (0x20439)

-> the next frame is is supposedly the one in libc, but what happened to the 
two frames in QApplicationPrivate::init and main? I also note that no calls to 
access_mem are occuring - is this maybe some (wrong) caching in libdw or so 
that interfers here?

Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!
