Found this somewhere along the way, I forgot where. Works on my
machine. I did notice that the cd command on my machine does meddle

Hum... The PS1 setting. Nope, that's not the problem.
The root of the settitle() function is NOT the setting of PS1. It's
setting in /etc/profile is commented out. In my local .profile, PS1 is
set to just '$PWD'. I have verified that there are no other hidden
settings of PS1.
