/* log_backtrace() will save the backtrace of a running program
 * into the log at the DEBUG level.
 *
 * To use it, insert the following code to where backtrace is
 * desired:
 *       #include "backtrace.h"
 *
 *       log_backtrace();
 *       // A message can be added with log_backtrace_msg("your message")
 *
 *
 * A typical log will look like the following. The hex numbers listed after
 * "backtrace" are the addresses of the backtrace.
