Please think hard before including complete backtraces in upstream reports, they are very large and contain almost no useful information relative to their size so often obscure the relevant content in your message. If part of the backtrace is usefully illustrative (it often is for search engines if nothing else) then it's usually better to pull out the relevant sections.
Okay, I'll trim things down next time. Somehow I was convinced it's a common practice.
