Thanks for the test case.
It appears that 2.7 actually calls exec("execfile(filename)"),
when 3.1 directly calls exec(file_content).
The indirection seems necessary: the SyntaxError is detected by the pdb
trace function; but this function has to run somehow...
With the patch below, pdb now runs exec("exec(file_content)").
I'm not sure how to write unit tests for pdb.
I don't know if it will be accepted for 3.1 final.
