Comment(by jdemeyer):

 Replying to [comment:13 leif]:
 > The actual error message should be {{{vsnprintf()}}}'ed into a buffer
 (upstream) such that we can also propagate the real cause.

 That is more or less the idea of #9640.

 But I also noticed that the whole exception-catching mechanism can be
 vastly improved (for example, now there is a general signal-handling
 facility in Sage and a specific error-handling facility for PARI which
 should be merged into one system).  Also, there is essentially no testing
 code for this Cython error handling.  Good testing code should have caught
 #10018.  All this should eventually be in #9678.
