You're right.  The algorithm isn't really sophisticated but it shouldn't
be quite that bad.

I just checked in a fix which should keep the stack trace going even
when it finds a return address of zero.

It will be in the next cygwin snapshot at: http://cygwin.com/snapshots/
but be advised that this is a 1.7.x version of Cygwin and there ar
changes to the way mounts are handled in this new version as well as
other incompatibilies with the current stable 1.5.x series.  So, if
you use it, please research the differences by reading the cygwin
mailing list archives.
