I can reproduce this easily with zsh 3.0.6 or 3.1.6 on FreeBSD (2.2.6
and 4.0). The TERM variable has to be set to a 'dumb'-style terminal,
or blank. I thought I could reproduce it on Solaris 2.6 but it doesn't
seem to be cooperating right now.
% zsh -f
% PROMPT="%m %n %/ %%"
dan dan /home/dan % TERM=dumb
dan dan /home/dan %
^ blanks start here and don't stop
Oddly enough, "%m%n%/" doesn't trigger the bug. "%m %n" does. "%m %n"
does not.
Termcap entry for 'dumb':
