how to make nose show logging *before* dropping into pdb?

wondering if anyone knows the dark incantations necessary to get nose to print the log output before the pdb console comes up on a failure, so I can see what's happened up the breakpoint/exception. The below shows logging on failure, and drops into pdb, but the logging only goes to the screen after I continue out of pdb. grr!

$ nosetests -s -v --pdb
