When pdb is called from inside a doctest under python2.5, the readline
keys do not work anymore -- like they did just fine in 2.4.

Steps to reproduce: 
1. Create two files, foo.txt and foo.py, like so:
$ cat > foo.txt
>>> import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
$ cat > foo.py
import doctest; doctest.testfile('foo.txt')
2. run it
$ python2.5 foo.py
3. If I now press Ctrl-P, I get "^P" printed on the prompt, instead of
going back in the readline history. Likewise, the arrow keys print
escape sequences instead of moving the cursor.
