OK, I just released v0.95 of libunwind. You can get it at:
ftp://ftp.hpl.hp.com/pub/linux-ia64/libunwind-0.95.tar.gz
Relative to v0.95, here are some of the main changes:
- Fixed lots of bugs (multi-threaded apps should work a lot better,
for example).
- Greatly improve unwind performance on ia64 by avoiding expensive
sigprocmask()/pthread_lock() operations (for this to work, a
yet-to-be-released version of Hans Boehm's atomic_ops [1] package
needs to be installed on the system, otherwise, you'll get the old
& slow way).
- Add a new dynamic unwind-info format called
UNW_INFO_FORMAT_REMOTE_TABLE. This format is identical to
UNW_INFO_FORMAT_TABLE, except that the table is assumed to live in
remote memory.
- The interface of _Uia64_find_dyn_list() changed in a trivial
manner. I don't think this affects anyone other than gdb so far,
but if this is causing you troubles, please let me know.
For a detailed change-log, see this URL:

Thanks to everybody who has contributed to libunwind since the last
release. Keep those patches coming!
Enjoy,
