Not necessary. I think the fact pchel couldn't reproduce it is because
he uses the wrong terminal definition on his remote connection.

But it appears prompt_lastsize gets set in the wrong place, so the patch
doesn't work. The prompt line doesn't get cleared.

Attached patch removes the #ifdef which is most likely *not* necessary.
Stole the %c with ' ', and I clear the whole line. See attached patch.
