Fix minor error that I saw in some odd cases, not sure how to test for it. Unfortunately I don't have a reliable test case for this, it's deep in traceback handling. But I did see a few times ultratb itself crash.

"""Test the performance of the task farming system.
This script submits a set of tasks to the TaskClient. The tasks
are basically just a time.sleep(t), where t is a random number between
two limits that can be configured at the command line. To run
the script there must first be an IPython controller and engines running::
ipcluster -n 16
A good test to run with 16 engines is::
python task_profiler.py -n 128 -t 0.01 -T 1.0
This should show a speedup of 13-14x. The limitation here is that the
overhead of a single task is about 0.001-0.01 seconds.
