[PyPy-issue] [issue586] Show a traceback when an exception is raised in a destructor

[Dan Villiom Podlaski Christiansen]

New submission from Dan Villiom Podlaski Christiansen <danchr at gmail.com>:

When an exception is raised in a destructor, PyPy currently prints a message like this:

a destructor raised an exception, ignoring it

Other than the fact that the word “was” seems to have been left out, this isn't terribly helpful. It doesn't say 
anything about the exception that was raised. Either printing a traceback or the destructor that failed 
would be a vast improvement. I think that's what CPython does.

I tried reproducing this with a small test script, but it actually printed the destructor that failed. However, 
this isn't what I'm seeing in one of the remaining failures in Mercurial test suite.
