Not sure; but please note that that on Fedora/RHEL OS's, it's better
to let the OS catch crashes with systemwide tools like ABRT, that
manage backtracing, core-dump handling, bug reporting.  Letting the
application attempt its own backtracing can hide or corrupt these
crashes.

Thanks for that Frank. I'll make sure to hide the facility so it is only enabled by explicit developer action for those of us outside the Fedora/RHEL ecosphere.
