If you don't have/want trunk, but are able to use the Lazarus IDE, there 
is a feature "Leaks and traces" (in the view menu) (requires package 
"leakview", but installed by default).
This has a "resolve" button. If you paste the trace (address only), 
press resolve, and select the exe then it should translate the addresses.

It should work on Mac too / Though I haven't tested it in ages. (If it 
doesn't / apologies for the noise)
Not sure if you need to select the app bundle, or the exe inside the app 
bundle.
