#1798: add backtrace script to cactus utils

 Reporter: Steven R. Brandt
   Status: new
Milestone: 
  Version: development version
     Type: enhancement
 Priority: minor
Component: Other

Comment (by Roland Haas):

Is it worthwhile to have and maintain such a script? We already give the `addr2line` command line at the bottom of each `backtrace.<rank>.txt` file. Plus, often one actually needs to use `gdb` and its `info line *<address>` command \(and a core dump\) either b/c of address space randomization \(laptops\) or b/c `addr2line` is older than `gdb`.

Ie. do the benefits outweigh the effort?
