*.stackdump is certainly more human-readable than a binary core file;
nevermind that both file formats require additional knowledge for proper
interpretation of what it is telling you. If you are asking for what a
debugger can read, vs. what a human can read, then other mails in this
thread (about /bin/dumper) are more relevant. But as far as I know,
cygwin is the only platform that produces a text (instead of a binary)
output file when a program crashes, in its default configuration.
