sorry for the answer in a hurry. Can you please double-check that
1) you select the one line in mappings within mmp such that mapping_start
<= 0x0077a51c < mapping_end
2) $mydll is the basename (the part after the last backslash) in the
mapped_from column
3) $myaddr is the mapping_start?

So yes, the backtrace looks better, but still lacks real debugging
information (function names, line numbers). I expect you did not
change install.sh so that it either does not include debug symbols
or strips the binaries...

Go go, well done so far!
