I'd love to have backtraces of users' crashes, but i'm not sure explicit
support in each of our executables is the way to do it. Do you know about
Apport? It's a system-wide crash reporting tool that might be useful for us.

Subject: [Emc-developers] patch: generating a backtrace in task (was: EMC's
'silent segfaulting' behaviour)
To: "EMC developers" <emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net>
Here's a proposed patch to generate a backtrace in task on SIGSEGV, SIGFPE and
SIGUSR1
the SEGV and FPE signals will abort task, sending SIGUSR1 will create a
backtrace and continue. Appropriate Operator message are displayed.
http://git.mah.priv.at/gitweb/emc2-dev.git/shortlog/refs/heads/backtrace-task
unsure where this should go, I guess master
The backtrace goes to /tmp/backtrace.<milltask-pid> and looks like so:
stack trace for /home/mah/emc2-test/bin/milltask pid=16970 signal=11
0x009bc416 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
