Bug #1579370 reports a crash when accessing the thread state of a terminated thread, when releasing a generator object.
In analysing the problem, I found that f_tstate doesn't have much utility: it is used in very few places, and in these places, it might be as good or better to use the *current* thread state (rather than the frame's thread state); in some (most?) of these places, the current thread should be identical to the frame's thread, anyway. So I would like to propose that the f_tstate member is removed from the frame object. For Python 2.5, for compatibility, it probably has to remain where it is, and only PyTraceBack_Here should stop using it. As a consequence, a generator .send() makes exceptions occur in the current thread, not in the thread where the generator was created. What do you think?
