bash-2.05b-14 broken!


PS1="\[\e[33;1m\]\t\[\e[m\] \[\e[36;1m\]\w [\#]\\$\[\e[m\] "
there are two spaces after "$", not one as it should be
(and as it was with bash-2.05b-13 and on all the other unixes).

another manifestation of the same bug: when the command line is folded,
it folds one extra line.

apparently, the prompt output code prints one extra space which it does
not account for internally.
