I've done a couple of tests. (See below, lengthy.) The bottom line :
- I should have used solib-search-path the first time you told me, not
after the second time :-)
- without setting solib-search-path, the output for both live and post-
mortem (minidump) sessions is a list of DLLs without address range.
- with setting solib-search-path, the output of both live and postmortem
sessions shows addresses for those DLLs found

Not yet. The place where I found the register contents until now was not
'thread-safe' - there's only one set of registers there.
The only additional info I found points to memory regions that the minidump
doesn't contain a copy of.
Further poking on MSDN reveals a table that explains the contents of "context
dumps" (limited in size) vs. "system dumps" and "complete dumps".
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms939598.aspx .
Also http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms939607.aspx describes
registry settings to influence dump handling. Can't find a way to change
the type of dump though.
