OK, glad that it is fixed in bashes beyond what Debian sid uses.

I'll take your word for it. You had previously stated that 3.2 fixed
something, but not if "something" was introduced in 3.1, so I wasn't

PROMPT_COMMAND='prompt_status=\ $?'
PS1=$SPECIAL_PS1"$my_color_on\A\${prompt_status# 0} \W\$$my_color_off "
