Well, I can also imagine a lot of cases where the in-process backtrace
won't work right, the main one being that since the code will never be
used unless you want a backtrace, when you try to use it you'll
realize that it no longer works, or doesn't even compile anymore. If
we call the debugger instead, it will use the standard backtrace code
which is always compiled in, and regularly used by a lot of people.
