Why was parsing a stack trace felt to be unsafe?
Quoting from [1]:
Some virtual machines may, under some circumstances, omit one or more stack
frames from the stack trace. In the extreme case, a virtual machine that
has no stack trace information concerning this throwable is permitted to
return a zero-length array from this method. Generally speaking, the array
returned by this method will contain one element for every frame that would
be printed by printStackTrace.
