[issue15463] test_faulthandler can fail if install path is too long

[Chris Jerdonek]

This might be obvious to some people, but for background purposes, this seems to be where the file name gets truncated (in the dump_frame() function):

    write(fd, "\"", 1);
    dump_ascii(fd, code->co_filename);
    write(fd, "\"", 1);

Out of curiosity, I wonder if we have a test to check the formatting of tracebacks for long file names, which would be nice to have.  I didn't see one.
