[QGIS-Developer] Crashes on exit

[Nathan Woodrow]

Yeah, in this case, the stack trace is wrong because of the lack of
symbols.  The symbols could be installed with QGIS at the increase of
package size but maybe we can do that for a while until we catch this issue.

At the moment installing the symbols for the normal installer versions of
QGIS is a bit hard for most users.

Jurgen, would we be able to include the debug symbols for the build on the
normal installers for once release cycle while this is still an issue? That
would be super handy to catch this and other issues that come up.
