I'm not sure what tp_clear should do in this situation. Other than propagating the exception to the GC, the most reasonable behavior seems to be to write the exception to stderr and ignore it -- but I think having the GC do that would be more robust. IOW, I think raising an exception from tp_clear is reasonable, and if that caused (causes?) a crash, it's a bug.
