However, the snapshots are rather worthless. I can explore one and clearly tell that something is blowing up memory usage, but all the items are labeled

In any case, we found a deeper cause of the issue. Something in the firmware on our device went wonky and overran a buffer so it's no surprise the rest of the application went haywire.
