For the record, this isn't how you write a function that wraps a builtin.
Use the "builtin" command instead.
echo() {
printf 'echo() wrapper invoked.\n'
builtin echo "$@"
Arghh! I knew it was a pilot error :)
unset PROMPT_COMMAND fix it :)
my PROMPT_COMMAND reference a function that do 'echo' and I should use
"command echo" in the echo function not \echo.

Hi All,
Dunno if this is a bug or pilot error, I bumped into this.
$ type echo
echo is a shell builtin
$ function echo { \echo the function version; \echo "$@"; }
After this I got different behavior on 'same' OS version, same BASH
version, meaning my environment must interact but can't tell to
