Summary: does not raise SystemError on too many nested blocks

Initial Comment:
Simple script attached, in python 2.4.3 I get 
reasonable results:

C:\>.\python24\python.exe nested.py
  File "nested.py", line 22
    while 22:
SystemError: too many statically nested blocks

C:\>

However in python 2.5 I get nothing:

C:\>.\python25\python.exe nested.py

C:\>


Shouldn't the same error be raised? (Note that it's 
not executing the file, or the prints would occur).

The attached patch fixes the problem.  I'm not so sure that
the error should be a SystemError, but some exception should
definitely be produced.
