   the worst case: after a segmentation fault, at fatal error, etc. That's why,
   it is very limited. Strings are truncated to 100 characters and encoded to
   ASCII with backslashreplace. It doesn't write the source code, only the
   function name, filename and line number of each frame. Write only the first
   100 frames: if the traceback is truncated, write the line " ...".

   only write the traceback of the first 100 threads: write "..." if there are
   more threads.

   If current_tstate is NULL, the function tries to get the Python thread state
   of the current thread. It is not an error if the function is unable to get
   the current Python thread state.

   If interp is NULL, the function tries to get the interpreter state from
   the current Python thread state, or from
   _PyGILState_GetInterpreterStateUnsafe() in last resort.

   It is better to pass NULL to interp and current_tstate, the function tries
   different options to retrieve these informations.
