New submission from Ned Batchelder:

Looking into this Stack Overflow question:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16115027/pythons-sys-settrace-wont-create-c-call-events

Reading the code in c_eval.c and friends, it looks like "c_call" events are never passed to the trace function, only to the profile function.  The docs are wrong and should be fixed.

The setprofile docs simply point to settrace for details, so the text needs to accommodate both functions' needs.
