escape chars in prompt: screen freezes on hp-ux, works on linux

[Michael Leun]

Hello,

I've to work on a machine which sets

PS1='\[\033]0;\h\007\033[0;address@hidden \[\033[0;35m\]$(date 
"+%H:%M%d/%m/%y") \[\033[0;34m\w\033[0m\]\n> '

in .bashrc - I'ts not mine, so I cannot change that.

This works as expected on Linux (openSuSE 10.2) 
address@hidden:~> screen --version  
Screen version 4.00.02 (FAU) 5-Dec-03

On HP-UX screen freezes, when I start bash and the prompt is displayed (HP-UX 
11.x)
u108034:/home/u108034 >screen --version
Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06

Looks like this FAQ:

Q:   When  I  type  cd directory (any directory  or just  blank)  from
     within one of the windows in screen, the whole thing just freezes
     up.

but I do not know why this works on linux and does not on HP-UX.
