title: Windows: cannot see call stack when opening a minidump
body: <p>I'm using <code>MiniDumpWriteDump</code> with <code>MiniDumpNormal</code> parameter to dump call stack in SEH exception handler. When I open the dump in VS, I can't see the callstack. I did see it with the same code two days ago when I started experimenting with dumping. I've changed something, and I don't understand what. This is a debug build (and I even saw call stack from a release build all right). I can see call stack fine in the debugger, if I put the breakpoint at <code>MiniDumpWriteDump</code> call. I can see call stack after opening the dump in VS, if the dump wasn't written from within the exception handler.
  What can be the cause of stack not showing up?</p>

  <p>P. S. I compile with /EHa. Also tried disabling C++ exceptions at all (that definitely worked two days ago). And, of course, .pdb files are generated fine.</p>
  
  <p>P. P. S. And this is what I mean by saying "call stack is not showing up".</p>
