Julia-0.3.0 installed from portage shows incomplete tracebacks. The same version manually built from julia-v0.3.0_768187890c.tar.gz does not have this problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: $ cat /tmp/crash.jl function crash() x() end crash() $ julia /tmp/crash.jl # julia-0.3.0 installed from portage ERROR: x not defined in include at /usr/bin/../lib/julia/sys.so in process_options at /usr/bin/../lib/julia/sys.so in _start at /usr/bin/../lib/julia/sys.so (repeats 2 times) while loading /tmp/crash.jl, in expression starting on line 5 $ wget https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/releases/download/v0.3.0/julia-v0.3.0_768187890c.tar.gz $ tar xzf julia-v0.3.0_768187890c.tar.gz $ cd julia-v0.3.0 $ make $ ./julia /tmp/crash.jl ERROR: x not defined in crash at /tmp/crash.jl:2 in include at ./boot.jl:245 in include_from_node1 at loading.jl:128 in process_options at ./client.jl:285 in _start at ./client.jl:354 in _start_3B_1720 at /tmp/julia-v0.3.0/usr/bin/../lib/julia/sys.so while loading /tmp/crash.jl, in expression starting on line 5
With 0.5.0 we finally have meaningful backtraces in the Gentoo package: % julia crash.jl ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: x not defined in crash() at /tmp/crash.jl:2 while loading /tmp/crash.jl, in expression starting on line 5
