-gl  has a "feature" it prints the stack info, until it finds an address 
for which there is no stack info (e.g. in the rtl, if the rtl was not 
compiled with info).

IIRC this is to avoid issues if an error occurred while getting line 
info. But not sure.

So if your first address is not in code with debug info, then that is it.

If you run in the debugger, or resolve with leak-view then this will not 
happen. But ofcourse if the error occurs with either a corrupted stack, 
or in some code (e.g system kernal) that does not use stackframes then 
the stack can not always be parsed.
