Add text about circular references caused by storing frames in local

variables.  This closes SF bug #543148.

Return a list of frame records for the stack below the current

Stackframes stored directly or indirectly in local variables can
easily cause reference cycles. Though the cycle detector will catch
these, destruction of the frames (and local variables) can be made
deterministic by removing the cycle in a \keyword{finally} clause.
This is also important if the cycle detector was disabled when Python
was compiled or using \function{gc.disable()}. For example:
\begin{verbatim}
def handle_stackframe_without_leak():
frame = inspect.currentframe()
try:
# do something with the frame
finally:
del frame
\end{verbatim}
