Maybe save a .crash file when you enter the exception handler (then
delete it if you make it back out.) So if everything does go down,
you can recover if you hadn't saved. You may need to use the undo
data, particularly if the error came from the data-structure (e.g. a
key error or something.) Or, you could just pickle a brain-dump and
then code a recovery function that is able to step through (getting as
far as possible if the crash was caused by some kind of data
corruption.)
