No, I don't think any of the patches breaks binary compatibility.  I have
kept this in mind while making them.  Two patches add an extra field each
to the PyThreadState structure, but at the end.

617309: the new hook is of no concern to extension modules.  Reading the
'frame' field is still allowed.  The only real change is into the
implementation of PyEval_GetFrame().


A bientot,

Armin.
