One can also strip the information altogether, then the "exe" is smaller but the debugging info is lost.or is that different with linux?

The crashdump contains a complete snapshot of the server's memory, including what instructions were just being executed. So usually I can see "I called function A, that called function B with these parameters, which called function C with these parameters, which .... which called function Z that crashed".
If you did the post-mortem analysis, using the gdb and its bt command, that's exactly what I'm doing.
So then I know to focus my attention to that chain of function calls, and coupled with the error message, I can usually figure out what's going on. The more difficult part is determining, why it's going on
