thank you, that helped.

Maybe you can do a

export PS1="$"

initiallize to standardize the prompt (before waiting for the prompt,  
of course), or simply use a command with ssh to avoid reading the  
user's shell configuration, such as

ssh <host> "/bin/sh --noprofile --posix"

Just an idea - maybe you're doing something similar already -  
apologies, I haven't looked at the code.
Either way, it would make things easier for users.
