Look at your typescript with vim. You'll see this gets printed: ^[]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~^G^[[?1034h before your prompt is printed: ^[[33mcrater-joe^[[36m [~] (500)^[[00m Where is that first string coming from if not from PROMPT_COMMAND? It looks suspiciously similar to what Gentoo sets as prompt command in /etc/bash/bashrc. :) Except for this "^[[?1034h" at the end. Where is that coming from? It does strange things with the width of the terminal when I add it here to PS1. So when you get rid of it, things might work correctly again.
