[issue3611] invalid exception context

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <haypo at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I also noticed a crash in PyErr_SetObject(): in block <line 68..86>, 
tstate->exc_value value may changes and so it's possible that 
tstate->exc_value becomes NULL. I added a test to avoid this crash:
