It is not safe to call fork in PrintStackTrace. Sometimes it freezes the program.

// 'c++filt' process to do the demangling. This seems like the simplest and
// most robust solution when we can't allocate memory (such as in a signal
// handler). If we can't find 'c++filt', we fallback to printing mangled names.
