This looks fine to me.

Since take_trace() is an internal function, and the current callers
don't do anything useful with a FALSE return, maybe we should just
update take_trace() to consume the input regardless of the return?
Otherwise callers will have some strings consumed, and others not
consumed, and the caller has to track that. Seems kinda pointless.
