I think there is a better solution. For the debugger test cases, we should
simply modify the input script to turn off the printing of contexts with the
command "context none". To handle the test cases where we get exceptions
thrown, we should modify the code that prints the stack dump to check whether
a specific environment variable has a specific value, and if yes, simply
suppress the stack dump; the runtest scripts can them simply set up the
environment variable.
