8488the program being debugged exits abnormally. After post-mortem debugging (or
8589after normal exit of the program), pdb will restart the program. Automatic
8690restarting preserves pdb's state (such as breakpoints) and in most cases is more
8791useful than quitting the debugger upon program's exit.
