    22 For the BOINC Manager or Client, the original stripped executable is a "universal binary" which contains the code for ppc, i386, and perhaps x86_64 architectures.  The `boinc_x.y.z_macOSX_SymbolTables.zip` file contains a separate unstripped executable for each single architecture for BOINC version ''x.y.z''.)

    115111Notes: this web page says that the atos utility properly handles separate .dSYM files if you use the version of atos the which ships with XCODE Tools version 3.0.  Unfortunately, this is not true.  Also, these pages are focused on the crash reports automatically generated by the Mac OS, which are a bit different from the ones generated by BOINC.
