[issue5215] change value of local variable in debug

[Maru Newby]

Maru Newby <mnewby at thesprawl.net> added the comment:

Modifications to the f_locals dict are only saved at the end of
traceback, and each traceback function was using the f_locals accessor
that returns the dict state as of the start of traceback.  The provided
patch caches f_locals on setup and ensures that all traceback functions
share that cached dict, ensuring that modifications are no longer
overwritten by a function using the unmodified dict.
