[ plus a patch ]

I have seen at least 3 complaints here about bash's behavior with
invisible character sequences.  My prompt is underlined, and I have
had similar problems.  The complaints have been ongoing since bash
version 1.05.

I will incorporate this code into my version of bash, and I humbly
request that the implementers of bash include it in their next release.

Please.
