Note that the post-mortem loop is terminated (if you do pdb.set_trace() 
instead of pdb.pm(), that doesn't happen).

This is rather irritating then you're trying to post-mortem debug a 
failed test with expensive setup, when leaving the postmortem pdb 
session exits the process.

Python 3.1 is not affected.  I don't have 2.7 handy.
