How to debug stripped binary that has hanged

Hi,

I have a delicate problem; one of our users have some problems with an application of ours - the application hangs at a certain operation, and attaching to the process with Xcode confirms that the main thread is waiting for a semaphore (sem_wait probably). Now, the binary is stripped, so it doesn't contain any of our method names - only addresses to those functions in the stripped binary.

We do have a non-stripped version of the application that I would like to match the above mentioned addresses against. So far, we've used dSymbolizer to debug crashes reports from our users, and it has worked out just fine. But... in this case, we do not have a crash report, but rather a hang report (you do get a such if you force quit the stalled application).

Is there _any_ easy way to match such a report through a non-stripped binary, just as with crash reports?

Regards
Mattias
