Good.

Ah, I think this:

o Includes these patches from gentoo:
  + buffer-on-clear: "Please note that, although this works well for
    most prompts, there have been cases with fancy prompts, like bug
    #397829 where it caused issues. Proceed with caution."
    https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397829

is the culprit.  It's causing problems with my fancy screen prompt at
$dayjob, too.

The patch is here:
http://bit.ly/PW7mQW
and the explanation is here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129302

The point of that patch was to avoid the situation where a clearscreen
(^L) wiped out 24 lines or so of your scrollback buffer.  Good idea --
but it doesn't play nicely with prompts (and other programs) that use
the cls terminfo escape sequence.

I'll revert the patch and roll a new release.
