 A few suggestions for improving the readability of the crash reports:
  * Use a table format for the images, areas, and semaphores sections.
 Moving the name column rightmost, everything could be neatly aligned and
 would take a lot less horizontal space.
  * Move the images, areas, and semaphores sections to the end of the
 report. I believe the threads section is usually the most interesting and
 should be topmost.
  * In the areas section use hex format for the area size (or an end
 address), so it is easier to see whether an address falls into an area.
  * Sort the images by address.
  * Consider making the images table format similar to the areas table,
 maybe even two lines per image.
