Stack dumps

Stack dumps are very basic dumps in which the status and Java™ stack of the thread is written to stderr. Stack dump files are very useful when used together with the "allocation" dump event to identify Java code that is allocating large objects.

In the following example, the main thread has allocated a byte array of size 1549128 bytes:
