Here is what i am seeing:

v468929 AT TRD-CAX40JXD ~> >

the duplicate ">" is the issue.  Here is my PS1:

\[\033]61;\u@\H\007\u@\H \W>

as you can see, only a single ">"

This happens in xterm, cygwin bash shell, and my preferred terminal
mrxvt (from materm.sf.net).

It only just started happening.

It might be related to an exiting bug with tab complete adding a
duplicate character to the end of the line, check this out:

v468929 AT TRD-CAX40JXD ~> > ls db2Mgr.
db2Mgr.C  db2Mgr.h
v468929 AT TRD-CAX40JXD ~> ls db2Mgr..
db2Mgr.C  db2Mgr.h
v468929 AT TRD-CAX40JXD ~> ls db2Mgr..C
db2Mgr.C
v468929 AT TRD-CAX40JXD ~> > ls db2Mgr.
db2Mgr.C  db2Mgr.h
v468929 AT TRD-CAX40JXD ~> ls db2Mgr.C
ls: db2MgrC: No such file or directory
v468929 AT TRD-CAX40JXD ~> >

I've seen the duplicate character before (in this case a period "."),
but only now, with the duplicate prompt character does it cause that
duplication in the prompt to go away.

Again this happens in cygwin bash shell, xterm and mrxvt.
