I understand.  The guy has a problem today for which there is a solution
that I posted.  If he's "been meaning to look into the problem" and he's
posting to python-dev I presume he knows at least a little about running gdb
if he's operating in a Unix environment.  These two gdb commands

    source .gdbinit
    pystack

shouldn't be too much of a barrier.
