Downloaded color-theme from http://download.gna.org/color-theme/
(and added the directory to the load path and compiled the elc)

If I then start a freshly built emacs from cvs and 
M-x shell
M-x load-library color-theme
M-x color-theme-select
select a theme and then click the quit 'button'
which takes you back to *shell* typing pwd (or indeed anything) 
at a shell prompt (and return) will produce no output and an error
message in the echo area:

comint-snapshot-last-prompt: Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p, nil

where it is attempting:

  add-text-properties(nil nil (font-lock-face comint-highlight-prompt))

This is a bug in color-theme.

color-theme-install-at-point is stomping over all the overlays in a
buffer. It should be more careful about which buffer it is in, and
should restrict itself to goto-address overlays, eg by using
goto-address-unfontify.
