Description
8191101 added a small facility which would show register content in hs-err files at the point where asserts happened.

This feature has been very useful to us, and since its inception has been enabled by default in our nightlies without problems showing up. So we would like to enable this feature by default .

Please note that this feature is stubbed out on Non-Linux platforms so this only affects Linux.
