Another updated version.

I have changed the configuration setting to backtrace_functions plural,
so that you can debug more than one location at once.  I had originally
wanted to do that but using existing functions like
SplitIdentifierString() resulted in lots of complications with error
handling (inside error handling!).  So here I just hand-coded the list
splitting.  Seems simple enough.

I think this patch is now good to go from my perspective.
