You can see the patch here: http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/source/detail?r=350# We picked this up on trunk as part of a Breakpad sync in bug 510920, but that feels like way too much to take on a branch. However, this patch is pretty small and localized, and I'd feel safe taking it on a branch. It makes crash reports a lot more useful in these circumstances. I'll put together a 1.9.2 patch for it.
Attached patch branch patch (deleted) — Splinter Review
The patch applied cleanly to branch, except for changes to some files that aren't present on branch that we don't actually use in Mozilla anyway (Breakpad added a mac framework that we're not using, and I had to patch some things there). This is a diff against 1.9.2. I'm not sure on procedure here, since this same change already landed on trunk, and has review upstream from a Breakpad peer. Do I need review again? Just approval?
Comment on attachment 406666 [details] [diff] [review] branch patch Well, better to set the flag than not. See the previous comment for an explanation.

Pushed to 1.9.2: http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.2/rev/28adff5e9307 I think we could take this on 1.9.1 as well, if it applies cleanly then it's probably fine.

Comment on attachment 406666 [details] [diff] [review] branch patch We should take this on 1.9.1. It gives us useful extra data in crash reports. It's a pretty small patch and has been on trunk and 1.9.2 without any known problems for a while.
Attachment #406666 - Flags: approval1.9.1.6?
Comment on attachment 406666 [details] [diff] [review] branch patch Really too late for 1.9.1.6 if it's not a blocker. We'll have to pick this up in 1.9.1.7.

That's fine, just forgot to request approval and wanted it on the radar.
Comment on attachment 406666 [details] [diff] [review] branch patch Approved for 1.9.1.8, a=dveditz for release-drivers
