Bash Version: 3.2 Patch Level: 39 Release Status: release Description: Command prompt disappears when working directory is one whose name ends in a '\' (backslash) Repeat-By: Running the following command: mkdir ./asdf\\ && cd ./asdf\\ Fix: Probably has something to do with the way things are escaped in the default $PS1. Mine is '${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\$' (without quotes), and I haven't changed it, so I assume its the default.
