OK.

Just a stupid idea: adding a sleep for 5 seconds or so, the first time the
session is created? I wouldn't mind having to wait a bit on the first session
invocation, if I'm sure everything works better that way.

The new posting of today refers to this issue.

For now, I've given up using a colored shell, just to be sure I try to get sh
sessions working before adding complexity into the game.
So, now, my prompt is without any ANSI color spec, and completely mono-lined
(no extra \n), as you can see in the other post. Don't look at this for now --
except if you find it great to use! ;-)
