The MEMSTOMP code utilizes GPLV2+ and LGPL3 code. The GPLV2+ code is limited

I assume this could be done as a system-wide LD_PRELOAD if desired?

I would guess that "the backtrace code which is not thread safe" would
mean you couldn't safely do it system-wide.

GCC trunk contains a backtrace implementation which is supposedly thread-safe. But it does not work yet with separate debuginfo yet, I think.
