Summary: global stmt causes breakpoints to be ignored

Initial Comment:
It seems that having a "global" statement in "main()" 
(perhaps elsewhere too) causes pdb to ignore
breakpoints in the whole application.  See the attached
example small program.

Procedure:
- pdb python_bug.py  # the attached program
- 's', and then 'n' once or twice to make sure prog loaded
- 'break main'
- 'c'

If the "global foo" statement is present, pdb will not
stop at the breakpoint.  If it is commented out (and
"foo = 1" as well, of course), the breakpoint is obeyed.

I'm using
Python 2.3   (from the Debian "sid" distribution)
Tried under Linux 2.2.20, as well as 2.4.*.
