Yeah, perhaps it's not really useful to have backtrace in the commit's
description for the case of this patch in particular. But in general it
is very useful to have backtraces somewhere near the patch such that
online search engines, like google, could pick it up. I'll move the
backtrace below --- in v2, thanks.
