Many backtraces currently stored in bugzilla are damaged (truncated) by 
a bug (in Linux kernel?). That bug has been fixed, but the backtraces 
already uploaded with that bug are not parsable by current backtrace parser.

I haven't figured out how to tweak the parser to handle the damaged 
backtraces yet. However, I'd like to focus on the new duplication 
detection mechanism for now, because it is more important from my point 
of view.
