After some thoughts, if rewind cannot allocate any memory for backtrace then
did this mean this allocation was a random fall caused by other code
that exhausted all memory?
Image I created a million line spreadsheet and code fails when I try
to concat file path to save it.
This means backtrace will not give us a lot of information about the
cause of error.

Implementation should be allowed to fail to generate BT in cause of
OOM, and on small systems it will fall every time.
