Since it shows with a little 't' this means that its a local symbol.
If I had to guess, it's probably a compiler generated symbol.

It's possible that T.396 just happens to be the closest symbol to the
call location. The only way to know for sure is to disassemble the
module in question and examine what's going on to see if that's the
case.
