I looked into this, but it’s a bit complicated because currently 
TextMate uses the system’s error reporting (via `NSError`) so the 
dialog is a system dialog presented with `presentError:` which does not 
allow to augment it, other than add additional buttons.

So one could add a “Show Error Log” button, but that does feel a bit 
clumsy.

I do wonder though in what context you need to read the full stack dump?

I ask because normally the stack dump is indicating that there is a 
problem with a bundle item, but a few bundle items have incomplete error 
handling and thus do show the stack dump in some edge cases, so I wonder 
if you are requesting better presentation of the stack dump because you 
run into these bundle items (in which case the better solution is 
probably to just add better error handling to the bundle items) or as a 
bundle developer.
