Py3.12: 'Fix' tracing. The test cases no longer crash the interpreter…

…, but the results probably are not correct.

-- Nothing changed yet.
+- Python 3.12: Installing a system profiler and using greenlets no
+  longer crashes (debug builds of) the interpreter due to internal
+  assertion failures. While system profilers now work, their results
+  are not entirely correct or compatible with previous versions when
+  greenlets are switched. More work is needed in this area.

 based code there are new functions in the greenlet module, `gettrace`
 and `settrace`.
 
+.. caution::
+
+   On Python 3.12, standard Python tracing and profiling may yield
+   incomplete results when greenlets are used, if the profiler is
+   installed from inside a running greenlet.
+
+   If you'll be using standard tracing and profiling, it is
+   recommended to install a profiler globally in the main greenlet
+   before spawning any other greenlets.
