Fwd: readline woes?

[Lyon Lemmens]

Hi,

Since the last update of the readline library to 5.0 I'm experiencing random line wraps in my bash sessions. Other shells seem to be unaffected.

my xterm, konsole and even a normal console window will wrap the first line

at some arbitrary point:

wraps here

[obelix:/home/llemmens] V

llemmens> lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

It appears to depend on the length of the prompt: If I go to a deep

directory:

[obelix:/usr/lib/mozilla/chrome/calendar/skin/classic/calendar]

llemmens> lllllll

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

And then if I go even further it looks as if my stack is overwritten:

[obelix:/usr/lib/mozilla/chrome/calendar/skin/classic/calendar/timepicker]

fd /wapsw-setcabs cd ..lllemmens> lllllllllllll

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

this is junk that appears out of the blue and changes on each next character

entry.

my PS1 is set as follows:

PS1='\e[1m[\h:$PWD]\e[0m\n\u> '
