It'll make the error summaries completely unreadable, which isn't what
you want when doing a "make check" -- you just want to see that there's
a problem and where it is.  (Well, at least I do.)

But when making a specific test (i.e., "make subr-tests" etc) it would
indeed be nice to have untruncated backtraces.  I think adding these new
variables would allow us to do this.
