There's no bug here.  The cd builtin completes successfully, and
the shell goes to read another line from the terminal.  My guess
is that the backslash at the end of $PWD is messing up an escape
sequence you're sending to the terminal to write to the title bar
or something similar.

Well I thought that also, but reproduced it in gnome-terminal and
xterm with PS1=$. The only common denominator was bash, as tcsh
didn't show the problem?

Pádraig.
