feature.  the traceback object (sys.exc_traceback) contains a reference to
the execution frame, which contains references to all local variables.  under
normal use, the traceback is destroyed (and all locals released) on the next
return or raise.

for more info, see sections 7.4 and 3.2 in the language reference.
