I think you confirmed that it was in the other "Backtraces on server?" thread?

Yes, but I fear it wouldn't cover the following case:

(condition-case err1 
    (condition-case err2
        (error "A")
      (error (error "B)))
  (error (message "Oups")))

Only the first error would be captured by the debugger.
