under pdb, __file__ is not defined when executing a source code file
directly.

for example, if myprogram.py contains "print __file__", a NameError will
be raised when run with python -m pdb myprogram.py.

The issue is already fixed in the 2.5 and 2.6. 2.5.2 is going to be
released in a couple of weeks.
