Django-1.7 doesn't display 500 error pages during DST change

[Markus Bertheau]

When an exception, that would normally - with DEBUG=True - be displayed in the detailed 500 page, occurs during the DST/no-DST ambiguous hour of the geographical area that is set as TIMEZONE, the handler crashes with AmbiguousTimeError. This seriously limits the ability of many developers to develop and Django applications for a time span of 1/8760 of the year. This is unacceptable!
