# We have status 0 for an allocation failure at:
# - 1 because backtrace_create_state handles failure robustly
# - 2 because the fail switches backtrace_full to !can_alloc mode.
# - 11 because failure of elf_open_debugfile_by_buildid does not generate an
#   error callback beyond the one for the allocation failure itself.
