PR# 14548 Incomplete stack trace

The feature EXCEPTION.trace doesn't deliver the full trace anymore.  It should deliver everything from the point of the error, down to the creation of the root.  Instead, it delivers from the point of the error, down to the first rescue clause.  By the way, I was using two rescue clauses.  (I tried this in 5.7.64493 and it displays down to the rescue clause that is currently calling 'exception_trace' - each rescue clause gives a different result).  I'm pretty sure that this worked once upon a time.  If Zoran can get me a 5.6 compiler going, I'll try it.  This is pretty important to us.  We place these traces in emails and log files and we REALLY want to see the full trace.

This has been fixed in rev#74391. Thank you for reporting.

I was going to answer that indeed this behavior has always existed. I agree with you that it should go to either the root creation procedure of the main thread, or the thread creation procedure for the other threads.

Well, I'm really confused now.  Version 5.6.1218 isn't any better.  Maybe this is a feature request.
