[Laszlo-dev] Debug.backtrace not working?

[P T Withington]

That doc is stale.

You can now enable backtracing in the developer console. No recompile  
needed.

Section 12.3 is correct. When backtrace is enabled, every debut  
message records a backtrace. You inspect the message and then inspect  
it's bactrace element to see the full trace.

You should never need to call backtrace() directly. (But if you do,  
all that does is create a backtrace, it does not output anything.)
