mc 4.5.55 scrambles prompt

Hello,

when using xterm's dynamic control sequence feature like this

  export PS1=$PS1"\[\e]0;\w\a\]"

which sets xterm's caption to the current working directory,
mc 4.5.55 shows something like "user at host:~ > 0;~" if you're
in your home. This looks broken, it shouldn't strip anything.

KDE 3.0 interprets "\[\e]30;\w\a\]" and KDE 3.1 will require
"\[\e]31;\w\a\]" for some features (agreed by Thomas Dickey)
so it would be nice if next Midnight Commander would fix it.

Bye,
   Steve
