Yeah, this bash has the same problems that -12 did, and more.

PS1='\[\]$PWD\[\]>\[\] '
There are some literal escape chars in that...

I get a colored prompt like this:
/home/rcampbell>

if I type t<tab><tab>, then I see a list of possible completions, and:

/home/rcampbell> t t
                 ^^
These 2 characters have magically appeared, and are not erasable.
