Hm. If it's only when you don't type a command, that's curious -
check and insure that your 'make_prompt()' function is always running the
color embedding function of your choice. Calls to make_prompt() only
happen in comm.c, and they only happen twice (in the version I'm looking
at). Your specific error should be quick and easy to track down.
Just remember, by default (even with color codes installed) the
prompt is usually never passed through the color parser. You're lucky
because apparently it only doesn't do that when you hit return by
itself... that means you find the 'good' case, and just copy the code :)
