I thought the post I made yesterday showed the difference?  And it's
that the byte codes themselves get replaced by "..<bytecode>..", and not
the symbols (etc.) that are useful for figuring out backtraces.

But the patch was backwards -- it inhibited it outside of backtraces
instead of in backtraces.
