are there any recommendations for tools that can analyze the stack trace from a crash? If not, are there any guides to writing one? I mean a tool that can look at a bunch of these dumps and catch patterns. These are crash logs of c++ applications.

Linux. However, I fear I've mist-stated my question. I want a tool that I can use to spot patterns among stack traces. I will close this and re-state the question properly. – easythrees Apr 20 '12 at 18:12

For windows I recommend WinDbg: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463009 there are various useful sites you can google for that will describe how to use it.
You can also open crash dumps using Visual Studio: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fk551230%28v=vs.90%29.aspx
There is a similar SO post here for linux: Which is the best Linux C/C++ debugger (or front-end to gdb) to help teaching programming?
gdb should be fine for what you are asking for and Eclipse
