I have some native (as in /SUBSYSTEM:NATIVE) Windows programs that I'd like to generate minidumps for in case they crash. Normally, I'd use dbghelp.dll, but since native processes can only use functions exported from ntdll.dll, I can't. So I've implemented the dumper myself. It's almost done, but unfortunately, I've been unable to locat...
