The prompt bug still exists. And it's spreading out. In *one*  
Terminal window (small, reduced font size) it also exists. In  
Terminal's tcsh prompt is defined as:

	set prompt = "%{\033[43;34m%}%B%n ! /\\ %b"

inside GNU Emacs' *shell* buffer it's defined as

	set prompt = "%n ! /\\ "

and GNU Emacs takes care of colourisation. For root it is defined as

	set prompt	 = "`echo $user` ! /\\ "


Another effect, which is particularly visible in root's GNU Emacs  
23.0.60, is that when a process (compilation, recursive ls or find)  
produces lots of output and the cursor is put at the (momentary) end  
of output, new output does not push the prompt forward, instead the  
prompt is left where it landed.
