I'm getting weird behavior with my bash prompt. Here's some of the things I see on my system.
$ bash # start a new shell $ PS1='\W ' ~ cd /home hmee cd /media meiia cd /boot bott cd /lib32 li332 cd /selinux selinux cd /proc pocc cd ~ mkdir home && cd home home cd .. && rmdir home ~ mkdir media && cd media media cd .. && rmdir media As you can see \W gets garbled in sub-directories of /. The three letter directories are fine as is /selinux, but the 4 and 5 letter ones are messed up. PS1='\w ' works fine. It does not seem to be related to the terminal emulator - I've seen the same behavior in urxvt and a gnome-terminal over ssh. I have no idea where to begin to diagnose this. Running Debian AMD64 Squeeze on a Thinkpad T61 echo $BASH_VERSINFO 4 echo $BASH_VERSION 4.1.5(1)-release bash --version GNU bash, version 4.1.5(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) ... Any suggestions pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
