Description
# Describe the bug
When 2 breakpoints are encountered in pytest with pudb set up, this error pops: Debugger instance already exists
# To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. install pudb and pytest in venv
2. create this `test.py`
```
def test_foo():
breakpoint()
breakpoint()
```
4. `pytest --pdbcls pudb.debugger:Debugger --pdb --capture=no test.py` (following https://documen.tician.de/pudb/starting.html#usage-with-pytest)
5. First breakpoint is encountered in pudb, press `c` to continue to second one
6. See error
# Expected behavior
The debugger should be called on second breakpoint
# Versions
pudb 2022.1.3

Research direction
Start with the provided test.py reproduction and run the pytest command with pudb's Debugger class and --capture=no. Trace the Debugger lifecycle from the first breakpoint after pressing c to the second breakpoint. Done means the second breakpoint opens the debugger without a "Debugger instance already exists" error.
