I am getting a SystemError in a django view but somehow it is not reported by raven/sentry.
I know the error I am getting because my view returns a JSONResponse which includes the error from the exception handler in my code. I then disabled sentry logging (configured as in the example in https://docs.sentry.io/clients/python/integrations/django/#integration-with-logging) and got a traceback in the server logs:
`
SystemExit: 1
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):

return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
SystemError: returned a result with an error set

The error I am getting is not the topic of this question, but rather: why is raven not reporting the error? My query times out at 30 seconds and I get a:
DEBUG 2017-04-26 13:09:21,468 base 54479 140303536756480 Configuring Raven for host: <raven.conf.remote.RemoteConfig object at 0x7f9aee2204e0> [2017-04-26 13:09:51 +0000] [54471] [CRITICAL] WORKER TIMEOUT (pid:54479)
It feels like raven is crashing. Is a SystemError beyond the reach of raven or am I missing something (everything else is working well, I get my other errors in Sentry)?
