I don't think it's a problem with the setting of the prompt. Do this:
1) Copy the "dream_append" from dream.c and paste it here. 2) Send us a "print" of "frame 0" in gdb. ...and for the hell of it, 3) Send your "bust_a_prompt" from comm.c With that, I think we can fix the problem. I doubt it's a problem with bust_a_prompt unless you've seriously modified it and left something untied causing the mud to trip.
