Not sure what you mean?

I get stacktraces from infodwrf (but also tested the lineinfo/stabs 
ones), and have copy and pasted them a thousand times into leak-view.

It works perfect. (though I believe, if I miss some of the leading 
spaces on the first line, it sometimes starts from the 2nd line...)

good point, and to add to it, AFAIK even gdb has some issues with mixed 
info, but I am not sure...

but that only means to ensure LCL is delivered with the same info than 
your app (so dwarf in future)
