Summary: cgitb failures

Initial Comment:
cgitb fails when evaluating various reprs/getattrs. The bug
demonstrator is cgitbbug.py. Below is the run output
for two bugs. Fixes are possible by putting try: except
around various evaluations. Although the test is
artificial we found these could happen in real code.

This is with 2.4a3 Windows XP

Sample output
