Guido van Rossum 0fc8f00252 - pythunrun.c, Py_Finalize(): move the call to _Py_PrintReferences()
even farther down, to just before the call to
  _PyObject_DebugMallocStats().  This required the following changes:

- pystate.c, PyThreadState_GetDict(): changed not to raise an
  exception or issue a fatal error when no current thread state is
  available, but simply return NULL without raising an exception
  (ever).

- object.c, Py_ReprEnter(): when PyThreadState_GetDict() returns NULL,
  don't raise an exception but return 0.  This means that when
  printing a container that's recursive, printing will go on and on
  and on.  But that shouldn't happen in the case we care about (see
  first bullet).

- Updated Misc/NEWS and Doc/api/init.tex to reflect changes to
  PyThreadState_GetDict() definition.
