... at this point, please not that lines #14 - #2387 (!!) all look the 
same as the previous three - the address varies, but it's 2300+ lines of 
"<address> in ??."  If that whole list is somehow useful, let me know.. 
otherwise i'll just cut to the end:

#2384 0x20203937 in ?? ()
#2385 0x614a2030 in ?? ()
#2386 0x2034306e in ?? ()
#2387 0x2020203f in ?? ()
