When I parse strings (names of linked modules) I encounter one string which length is not a valid number (a 32 bit integer) , but something else. I would add a debug print like this

diff --git a/parse_minidump.py b/parse_minidump.py
index 8226b41..c36de31 100755

          length_hex = data_to_hex(data)
         length = int(length_hex, 16)
         if (length == 0):

After I know the offset I would open the dump in hexer (apt-get install hexer) see the data in the dump. There is a number of possible issues

• The format has changed, and the new format is not supported by the script
• The file is corrupted starting from a certain offset
• A bug
