Bash Version: 4.1
Patch Level: 5
Release Status: release
Description:
If a directory is a subdirectory of / and has four or five characters in
its name, the PS1 prompt is wrong for it. Examples below.
Repeat-By:
# Run the commands below.
root@a01:~# export PS1='\h:\W '
a01:~ cd /abcd
a01:acdd
a01:~ mkdir /abcde
a01:~ cd /abcde
a01:abdde cd ..
You can see that the prompts are garbled.
Fix:
I don't have a fix.
