[issue7309] crasher in str(Exception())

[Eric Smith]

Eric Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

I'm not sure why reason should be restricted to a string. This patch
(against trunk) just converts reason to a string when str() is called.
I'll add tests and fix the other places in exceptions.c where similar
shortcuts are taken without checking, if there's agreement on the approach.
