Description:
Dynamic prompt code assignment not working.
This not only blows away \u, \w, etc. but it blows away
colors because delimiting non-printing characters doesn't work
so the shell gets confused about the length of the prompt with colors.
Repeat-By:
genericprompt> PS1="$(setprompt)"
dmarsh > echo $PS1
\u >
dmarsh > PS1="\$(setprompt)"
\u > echo $PS1
$(setprompt)
This last prompt is a function which evals to \u, which should but
does NOT evaluate to username, "dmarsh".
