perf and hotspot both fail to unwind many samples for the cpp-recursion example:

We need to figure out what's going on here and find a solution. Note that this affects both, libunwind and libdw unwinders. Potentially an issue with the DWARF debug info, and/or tail-call optimizations or something like that?

This happens for cpp-recursion e.g., see also issue #93
