Subject: bug#5255: 23.1.90; Wrong prompt in term
Date: Sun, 20 Dec 2009 23:44:21 -0300

In emacs 23.1 when I use M-x term the prompt is rendered correctly to
whatever is defined on the PS1 environment variable. But in 23.1.90.1 it
prompts whatever is defined in the PS1 but also before that, it prompts
0;<user>@<host>:<location>.

The steps to reproduce it are quite simple:

emacs -Q
M-x term

The prompt is rendered like this:

0;fgallina <at> cuca:~/Builds/emacs[fgallina <at> cuca emacs]$

Since my PS1 is set to

PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '

the expected result is:

[fgallina <at> cuca emacs]$
