Description
The django/views/debug.py function technical_500_response misses stack elements which it cannot find source for. This is a common problem because django imports modules in a peculiar way so that all the filenames seem to miss the leading package. I have a patch which inserts default values when the source isn't found. This allows the full stack trace to be seen in the prettified view and some of the variables at least can be inspected. However, for obvious reasons context cannot be seen.

I have a slightly improved patch. Under certain circumstances evaluating tb.tb_frame.f_locals.items() may cause an error; that creates even greater confusion. The solution is to safely evaluate that list.

Before I check this in, I'd like to understand it a bit better. Could you provide a situation in which the stack elements are incomplete?

I've never seen any issues with tracebacks and they're formatted nicely - maybe this was a problem with pre-1.0 django?
