Public bug reported:

1) Run ddd to debug pydb
2) Attempt to leave ddd by clicking on 'x'.
3) This fails(you can quit any time, but you can 'never' leave), but it seems 
to leave the debugged pydb program.

This is ok if you run only one pydb deep.  But if you're trying to debug
pydb...having what happens to ddd happen to the bottom level pydb
doesn't seem to be a very good thing.  For the moment, this is a
difference between ddd running on pydb and virtually any other program,
and it's behaviour that you would probably not expect.  I would argue
this is a (minor) bug, since it is not so consistent with what you would
expect with other programs, in that there does not appear to be enough
of a boundary between the debugging environment and the debugged
environment.
