bash-2.05b-14 broken!

bash-2.05b-14 broken!

[Sam Steingold]

PS1="\[\e[33;1m\]\t\[\e[m\] \[\e[36;1m\]\w [\#]\\$\[\e[m\] "
there are two spaces after "$", not one as it should be
(and as it was with bash-2.05b-13 and on all the other unixes).

another manifestation of the same bug: when the command line is folded,
it folds one extra line.

apparently, the prompt output code prints one extra space which it does
not account for internally.

Yeah, this bash has the same problems that -12 did, and more.

PS1='\[^[[02;34m\]$PWD\[^[[02;33m\]>\[^[[0m\] '
There are some literal escape chars in that...

I get a colored prompt like this:
/home/rcampbell>

if I type t<tab><tab>, then I see a list of possible completions, and:

/home/rcampbell> t t
                 ^^
These 2 characters have magically appeared, and are not erasable.

[Ronald Landheer-Cieslak]

This will be fixed in the next release (coming shortly - building & testing 
under way).
