To follow-up: I completed the test proposed by @tstuefe and I can confirm that:
* Provoking a crash **with** this backport results in an hs_err being written.
* Provoking a crash **without** this backport results in nothing but "Segmentation fault" being written to std_err and nothing more (e.g. no hs_err report).
