[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: bash-2.05b-13

[Rolf Campbell]

Thanks for fixing this problem.  I still notice one other problem (this 
has not been recently introduced).

RXVT:
If the prompt string is longer than the width, then bash will not wrap 
it correctly.  It seems to introduce EOL at (w+8) and 2w (where w is the 
  real terminal width).  I've tested this at real term widths of 30, 40, 
and 80 (EOLs are introduced at (38, 60), (48, 80) and (88, 160) repectively.

WinNT console:
The EOLs are in different positions, but they are still there.  They are 
at (w+19) and (2w-2).

To demonstrate, run:
PS1='003-007-011-015-019-023-027-031-035-039-043-047-051-055-059-063-067-071-075-079-083-087-091-095-099-103-107-111-115-119-123-127-131-135-139-143-147-151-155-159-163-167-171-175-179-183-187-191-195-199-203-207-211-215-219-223-227-231-235-239-243-247-251-255-259-263-267-271-275-279-283-287-291-295-299-303-307-311-315-319-323-327-331-335-339-343-347-351-355-359-363-367-371-375-379-383-387-391-395-399-403-407-411-415-419-423-427-431-435-439-443-447-451-455-459-463-467-471-475-479-483-487-491-495-499>'
(ignoring all line breaks introduced by mail software).  The value of 
each number is the number of characters from the start, up to and 
including the end of that number.

With a terminal width of 30, I see this:


003-007-011-015-019-023-027-031-035-03
1-035-03
9-043-047-051-055-059-
063-067-071-075-079-083-087-091-095-09
9-103-107-111-115-119-123-127-131-135-
139-143-147-151-155-159-163-167-171-17
5-179-183-187-191-195-199-203-207-211-
215-219-223-227-231-235-239>


The end of line#2 & line#3 is not correct.
