I think we did discuss it right after that, or somewhere nearby, and
concluded that the output is so imprecise that it's not really going
to be worth whatever portability issues we'd have to deal with.

I'd be all for a better version, but glibc's backtrace() just sucks,
at least given our coding style with lots of static functions.
