/*
 * Note [Chunked stack representation]
 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 *
 * Consider the stack,
 *     main                   calls                        (bottom of stack)
 *       func1                which in turn calls
 *         func2              which calls
 *          func3             which calls
 *            func4           which calls
 *              func5         which calls
 *                func6       which calls
 *                  func7     which requests a backtrace   (top of stack)
 *
 * This would produce the Backtrace (using a smaller chunk size of three for
 * illustrative purposes),
 *
 * Backtrace     /----> Chunk         /----> Chunk         /----> Chunk
 * last --------/       next --------/       next --------/       next

 *                      ~~~~~~~~~~           ~~~~~~~~~~           ~~~~~~~~~~
 *                      func1                func4                func7
 *                      main                 func3                func6
