After running that I get this in the abc buffer for 

        M-x describe-variable RET comint-prompt-regexp RET

,----
| comint-prompt-regexp is a variable defined in ‘comint.el’.
| Its value is "^[^#$%>
| ]*[#$%>] *"
| Local in buffer abc; global value is "^"
| 
| Documentation:
| Regexp to recognize prompts in the inferior process.
| Defaults to "^", the null string at BOL.
| 
| This variable is only used if the variable
| ‘comint-use-prompt-regexp’ is non-nil.
| 
| Good choices:
|   Canonical Lisp: "^[^> \n]*>+:? *" (Lucid, franz, kcl, T, cscheme, oaklisp)
|   Lucid Common Lisp: "^\\(>\\|\\(->\\)+\\) *"
|   franz: "^\\(->\\|<[0-9]*>:\\) *"
|   kcl: "^>+ *"
|   shell: "^[^#$%>\n]*[#$%>] *"
|   T: "^>+ *"
| 
| This is a good thing to set in mode hooks.

The first hash is not recognized as a prompt, but the rest are.

If you really need to use the hash, then running

: (set-local comint-prompt-regexp "^[^$%>\n]*[$%>] *")

in the `abc' buffer might help.

This has obvious problems if you run as root and do not reset the prompt to 
something other than #.

HTH,
