Is this only a Windows thing? You get a hex traceback under macOS, but you
have to rely on an external tool (atos) to symbolicate (?) it.

(Actually, ISTR someone produced symbolic traceback code?)

If atos doesn't ring the bell immediately, it's time for gdb. But maybe
TDM doesn't support gdb? You could always try the AdaCore GPL gdb, that
would carry no GPL flavour into your product.
