Just for your information...

After having chased a problem for making Tramp work -- that was caused by an
overriden PS1 setting --, here is how Tramp does:

    Tramp needs a special prompt, in order to distinguish command output and,
    hmm, the prompt. It does set PS1 to '$ ' (and $TERM to 'dumb').

Don't know if this could be a solution here: set the prompt (instead of
letting it customizable)?

Best regards,
