 After recently installing pydb 1.22, I noticed that ipython would attempt
 to use it rather than pdb when running a script via the magic command %run
 -d. Shouldn't the %run command always use pdb regardless of whether pydb
 is installed unless explicitly set to do so? I raise this issue because
 %run -d appears to exhibit some problematic behavior when it uses pydb
 rather than pdb (e.g., breakpoints specified by the -bN flag are not
 properly set).

 I am using ipython 0.8.1 with Python 2.5 on Linux.
