             Bug #: 14261
           Summary: Allow disabling backtrace support by environment
                    variable
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk

            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P

Bugs like 14260 can result in nasty dead locks at least on Linux. Problem is
that the malloc lock is hold by the current thread and backtrace in glibc wants
to allocate more memory. It would be nice to disable the fancy signal handlers
via environment to make it easier to build test cases without having to hack
the source.
