 On #9299, cypherpunks reports:

 >log_backtrace() is thread unsafe. If threads going to assert for the same
 time then calling of backtrace() from every thread going to fill the same
 cb_buf array.

 Our options here are:

   * Add a lock.
   * Make the cb_buf field non-static, and hope that the stack won't mind.

 The first option looks better, I think
