Can someone explain file degradation to me? Am I being unreasonably paranoid?
The folks at firefox has enough of a sample size that lack of ECC RAM actually matters for them. As in they keep receiving unexplainable crash dumps, especially AFTER they switched to Rust -- until they realized what was going on. Now their Rust minidump project does a bitflip check.

Unwinding the Stack the Hard Way
Generally what we do when we fall back to scanning depends on the architecture. For x86 you can find the logic here: https://github.com/rust-minidump/rust-minidump/blob/77638ab7...
Since we do post-hoc stack walking our ability to actually look at the assembly is limited. In most cases where we have no CFI we also do not have the binary to begin with, so we're in random memory land.
