regression: thread names missing from stack overflow error messages

[benesch]

Thread names have gone missing in stack overflow messages in Rust v1.89 (currently in beta). Reproduces on both Darwin and Linux.

I haven't bisected, but the culprit is almost certainly #140628. Nothing else has touched the stack overflow code path since Rust v1.88. cc @joboet @workingjubilee @RalfJung @Mark-Simulacrum as the reviewers of #140628.

Code

I tried this code:

fn main() {
    f()
}

fn f() {
    f();
}

I expected to see the thread name (main) included in the error message:

thread 'main' has overflowed its stack
fatal runtime error: stack overflow, aborting
Aborted

Instead, the thread is listed as <unknown>:

thread '<unknown>' has overflowed its stack
fatal runtime error: stack overflow, aborting
Aborted

Version it worked on

Works on the latest stable Rust (v1.88.0).

Version with regression

Broken in v1.89.0-beta.7. Tested on both Darwin and Linux.

Did you mean #140628

Ugh, yes, sorry! Got my issue numbers confused somewhere.
