The help messages the help_d and help_u methods of the
pdb.Pdb class gives have been switched. The standard
library documentation gets it right.

This is what it says:

pdb.Pdb.help_d: Move the current frame one level down
in the stack trace
(to an older frame).

pdb.Pdb.help_u: Move the current frame one level up in
the stack trace
(to a newer frame).

pdb.doc also had it switched around. Correction checked in
as rev 1.68 of pdb.py and rev 1.9 of pdb.doc. Thanks for the
report!
