thanks very much :-) Can you please add it to Bugzilla and I will try to 
review it

I understand that the stacktrace to the user can be odd, but on the 
other hand some
users will copy/paste it and send it to some developer, which can be 
useful, because
it might be a "one time" error which can be hard to find otherwise 
within huge log-files.

Hence I would suggest that the  stacktrace is "extensible" (e.g. via 
CSS/Javascript)

WDYT?
