Crash Reporter shows symbols of stripped app -- it's OK!

Have you ever crashed a stripped build of a .app and seen symbol names in the Crash Report? I have, and always worried that my strip phase was not working.

After doing some experiments today, I've concluded that this is a "feature" of Crash Reporter: It looks for a nearby .dSYM file to symbolize a crash report. It does not always work. It seems to depend on the particular order of build, clean and strip.

I don't really care to know exactly how to reproduce. I'm just happy to know that when I see symbols in a Crash Report of a stripped product running on my Mac, I don't need to worry about my strip phase any more.
