Those will generate a stack trace from the current location of a given 
thread (usually the current thread).  That's fine, but not what I was 
referring to.

I meant extracting the stack trace of the original throw point from some 
place that catches an exception (possibly a top-level uncaught exception 
handler).  That's the black art.  It requires either cooperation of the 
throw point or delving into compiler-specific internals.
