interesting answer.  Are you saying that those specific escape codes are
more like prompt escapes than CUI escapes?  hm, hm, hm, hm.

My code isn't invoking the shell -- it's calling execvp to launch an
executable that isn't there -- so there would have to be an unexpected
interaction between my program and its parent shell.
