This is not a question because I have already found a workaround. I am publishing it so that others can take advantage on the hours I was spending on it, and use my suggested workaround.

I have got some strange crash reports - a single line was duplicated many times:

...

it caused the symbolicatecrash (perl) script to get stuck. The reason is that the script was originally intended to chain similar entries, assuming they have a different base address. However that code was never working because it has a bug:

# add ourselves to that chain
$images{$nextIDKey}{nextID} = $image{base};

# and store under the key we just recorded
$bundlename = $bundlename . $image{base};

The bug is that the first line should actually be:

$images{$nextIDKey}{nextID} = $bundlename . $image{base};

However I'm suggesting a workaround that will ignore these duplicated lines by adding a next command a bit above this code, i.e.

# frameworks and apps (and whatever) may share the same name, so disambiguate
if ( defined($images{$bundlename}) ) {
    next;

this is not a clean solution because we are missing some protection here, but a least it will work for most of the cases.

Anyway hoping for Apple to remove these duplications soon.

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is a bug report, not a question. – Monophysite
Hi @Kreiri, I know. I could ask the question of why it is stuck, then come back with a solution. Or I could simply not share the result of a 2 days work that could save others a big headache... – Devonna
Thank you for sharing this, it was truly useful to me. However, I concur with Kreiri that is an answer, not a question. It would be better structured to ask the question, and then submit a separate answer (and that way I could give you a vote for a good question and a good answer!) – Travesty
thanks for posting this, solved my problem exactly! – Blackandwhite
This bug is still present in the symbolicatecrash script in xcode 8. – Travesty

You can use the following shell script which will patch symbolicatecrash to fix it:

curl -o /tmp/t.patch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zqxiaojin/OptSymbolicatecrash/master/fix_dead_loop.patch && cd `xcode-select -p`/../SharedFrameworks/DTDeviceKitBase.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ && sudo patch symbolicatecrash  /tmp/t.patch && cd -

Or copy the symbolicatecrash from my github https://github.com/zqxiaojin/OptSymbolicatecrash
