[issue12276] 3.x ignores sys.tracebacklimit=0

[Gabriel Genellina]

New submission from Gabriel Genellina <gagsl-py2 at yahoo.com.ar>:

Python 3.x doesn't honor sys.tracebacklimit=0

According to 
http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/sys.html#sys.tracebacklimit
when set to 0, it should not print any stack trace, but it does.

Python 3.2 (r32:88445, Feb 20 2011, 21:29:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win
32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
p3> import sys
p3> sys.tracebacklimit = 0
p3>
p3> def f(x):
...   return f(x-1) if x else 0/0
...
p3> f(5)
