You could attach to the process using a C debugger (e.g. gdb), and
have a look at the C stacks of each thread. Then, you can look into
the variables of the eval_code invocations to get a clue of what the
Python stack is.

P.S. Isn't this off-topic for python-dev, and rather a question to
python-list or python-tutor?
