[issue23012] RuntimeError: settrace/setprofile function gets lost

[Armin Rigo]

New submission from Armin Rigo:

It's not possible to write a settrace() or setprofile() function that remains active if we're about to run out of stack. If we are, we get a RuntimeError when the function is called. The RuntimeError is normally propagated, but in case it is eaten (e.g. see example) then the program continues to run normally --- but the trace/profile function is disabled from now on.
