[Bug runtime/10665] New: backtrace() is too slow

[wcohen at redhat dot com]

Trying to use backtrace() for bz6960 so that the code is portable between
different kernels. However, the backtrace() function is so slow that the script
skips probe handlers way too often and exits the script.

Looking through the code for the backtrace() it flushes the buffer, uses the 
normal print to buffer and then copy things from the buffer. That has some overhead.
