I realized I did not update the patch state in the CF app when I added
this version, so I flipped it back to Ready for Committer now.

Tracebacks are a nice-to-have, so if we decide to drop this one due to
time constraints, I'd understand that. But fixing "raise plpy.Fatal()"
to actually cause a FATAL is something that should be extracted from
this patch and committed, even if the full patch does not make it.
