Hopefully fix the profiler right.  Add a test suite that checks that
it deals correctly with some anomalous cases; according to this test
suite I've fixed it right.
The anomalous cases had to do with 'exception' events: these aren't
generated when they would be most helpful, and the profiler has to
work hard to recover the right information.  The problems occur when C
code (such as hasattr(), which is used as the example here) calls back
into Python code and clears an exception raised by that Python code.
Consider this example:
    def foo():
        hasattr(obj, "bar")
Where obj is an instance from a class like this:
    class C:
        def __getattr__(self, name):
            raise AttributeError
The profiler sees the following sequence of events:
    call (foo)
    call (__getattr__)
    exception (in __getattr__)
    return (from foo)
Previously, the profiler would assume the return event returned from
__getattr__. An if statement checking for this condition and raising
an exception was commented out...  This version does the right thing.
