I recently tried to use Tramp to access a file via `su' and bumped into the
following problem: the prompt (resulting from a very plain default setting
PS1="%m%# ") looks like
%<78 SPC>^M^Malfajor%
where alfajor is the machine name (an argentine pastry).
So it seems that although Tramp sets TERM=dump, the `zsh' executable
(version 4.3.2, from Debian testing) uses funny carriaqe-return trickery and
for apparently no good reason.
Has anybody seen this before? Should I just set
tramp-shell-prompt-pattern accordingly? Have you heard of such
behavior already (and maybe some way to get zsh to behave a bit better)?
