   > My prompt is rendered with garbage like this:
   > ]0;xma <at> zogzog:~/var/spool/mail]0;xma <at> zogzog:~/var/spool/mail[xma <at> zogzog 00:36:00 mail]$ 

   These don't look like color escape sequences.  So the problem is most
   likely in your prompt.

Here is the definition of my PS1 variable:

\[\033]0;\u@\h: \w\007\]\[\033[0m\033[0;1m\][\[\033[0m\033[0;32m\]\u@\h \[\033[0m\033[1;34m\]\t \[\033[0m\033[0;36m\]\W\[\033[0m\033[0;1m\]]\[\033[0m\033[0;37m\]\$

The weird thing is the line above the prompt. My prompt is no
more than [xma <at> zogzog 00:36:00 mail] here.

Regards,

	Xavier
