+# *bash* 4.0 vs. typing `C-c` (*SIGINT*)
+
+Will show `-bash: echo: write error: (ipc/mig) wrong reply message ID` unter
+certain conditions.
+
+After having noticed that this error doesn't occur if starting *bash* with
+`--norc`, I isolated it to the following command in `.bashrc`:
+
+ case $TERM in
+ xterm* | rxvt*)
+ PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}:${PWD}\007"';;
+ esac
+
+... and indeed:
+
+ tschwinge@flubber:~ $ echo "$TERM" -- "$PROMPT_COMMAND"
+ xterm -- echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}:${PWD}\007"
+ tschwinge@flubber:~ $ ^C
+ -bash: echo: write error: (ipc/mig) wrong reply message ID
+ tschwinge@flubber:~ $ PROMPT_COMMAND=
+ tschwinge@flubber:~ $ ^C
+ tschwinge@flubber:~ $
+
+ bash-4.0$ PROMPT_COMMAND='echo >&2 -n foo\ '
+ foo bash-4.0$ ^C
+
+ bash-4.0$ PROMPT_COMMAND='echo >&1 -n foo\ '
+ foo bash-4.0$ ^C
+ bash: echo: write error: (ipc/mig) wrong reply message ID
+
+ bash-4.0$ PROMPT_COMMAND='/bin/echo >&1 -n foo\ '
+ foo bash-4.0$ ^C
+ bash: start_pipeline: pgrp pipe: (ipc/mig) wrong reply message ID
+
+So, there's something different with stdout in / after the SIGINT handler.

-Typing `C-c` (*SIGINT*), different versions of *bash* and *screen* respond like
-this:
-
- * GNU/Linux; Ubuntu package 3.2-5 / `$BASH_VERSION` is `3.2.48(1)-release`
- * plain
- * shell prompt: new line / prompt printed; `$?` is 1.
- * `sleep 10` running: `^C` printed; SIGINT is sent; `$?` is 130.
- * in a *screen* session (Ubuntu package 4.0.3-11ubuntu4): exactly the same.
-
- * GNU/Hurd; Debian package 3.2-6+b1 (equals 3.2-6) / `$BASH_VERSION` is `3.2.48(1)-release`; *libc0.3* Debian package 2.9-25
- * plain
- * shell prompt: new line / prompt printed; `$?` is 1.
- * `sleep 10` running: `^C` printed; SIGINT is sent; `$?` is 130.
- * in a *screen* session (Debian package 4.0.3-11): exactly the same.
-
- This is equivalent to the GNU/Linux behavior.
-
- * GNU/Hurd; Debian package 4.0-4 / `$BASH_VERSION` is `4.0.28(1)-release`; *libc0.3* Debian package 2.9-25
- * plain
- * shell prompt: `^C`, then new line, then **`-bash: echo: write error: (ipc/mig) wrong reply message ID`**, then new line / prompt printed; `$?` is 128.
- * `sleep 10` running: `^C` printed, SIGINT is sent; `$?` is 130.
- * in a *screen* session (Debian package 4.0.3-11)
- * shell prompt: `^C`, then new line / prompt printed; `$?` is 128.
- * `sleep 10` running: `^C` printed; SIGINT is sent; `$?` is 130.
-
- This differs from the behavior of the earlier *bash* version in the MIG reply
- error in the not-*screen* case. The difference in command-line editing
- mode, the displaying of `^C` (same on GNU/Linux), and / or the value 128
- for `$?` (same on GNU/Linux) is a bash 4.0 regression that has been fixed
- for 4.1 already:
- <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2009-10/msg00040.html>.
-
- * GNU/Hurd; Debian package 4.0-7 / `$BASH_VERSION` is `4.0.33(1)-release`; *libc0.3* Debian packages 2.9-19, 2.9-25, 2.9-27
- * plain
- * shell prompt: `^C`, then new line, then **`-bash: echo: write error: (ipc/mig) wrong reply message ID`**, then new line / prompt printed; `$?` is 128.
- * `sleep 10` running: `^C` printed; SIGINT is sent; `$?` is 130.
- * in a *screen* session (Debian package 4.0.3-11)
- * shell prompt: `^C`, then new line / prompt printed; `$?` is 128.
- * `sleep 10` running: `^C` printed; SIGINT is sent; `$?` is 130.
-
- This is equivalent to the *bash* 4.0-4 / 4.0.28(1) behavior.
-
- * GNU/Hurd; Debian package 4.0-7 / `$BASH_VERSION` is `4.0.33(1)-release`; *libc0.3* Debian package 2.9-27

- * `sleep 10` running: `^C` printed; SIGINT is sent; `$?` is 130.
- * in a *screen* session (Debian package 4.0.3-14)
- * shell prompt: **no reaction (nothing printed)**; `$?` thus is **unchanged**.
- * `sleep 10` running: **`^C` printed**, SIGINT is **not** sent.
-
- The *screen* behavior differs -- [[!debbug 522689#38]].
-
-
-To sum up:
-
- * <strike>*screen*: new package causes that invokee doesn't react to `C-c` anymore.</strike>
-
- * *bash*: 4.0 packages have the MIG reply error.
-
- After having noticed that this error doesn't occur if starting *bash* with
- `--norc`, I isolated it to the following command in `.bashrc`:
