I didn't see any function like that. It's still possible to work with
buffers, but it's reinventing the wheel. That's what bothers me the
most with crash reporting: I don't know what I can use. I can't
predict if the process memory is screwed up, or if there's enough
memory to create the crashdump. Anyway, when this function is called,
we're in the middle of a crash, so we can't assume everything will
work fine.
