On linux, failure_handler dumps stack traces for all threads, but this dump does not include the name of each thread. The gdb "info threads" command will give a summary of all threads, and if debugging process, the summary will include each thread's name. If debugging a core file, for some reason the thread name is not included, but the summary is still useful.
Tested by running some tests that fail with a timeout, and looking at the failure_handler gdb output for both the process and the core file.
