Ouch, just today I found a flaw in this, namely that it assumes the
lineno from the traceback always refers to the PL/Python function. If
you create a PL/Python function that imports some code, runs it, and
that code raises an exception, PLy_traceback will get utterly confused.

Working on a fix...

PS: obviously it'd be great to have PL/Python traceback support in 9.1,
but I sure hope we'll get some testing in beta for issues like this...
