(Note that with the 32-bit build 1006 om XP, I get no escape sequences. I don't have your problem at all even though the error comes up in colour.)

The sentence preceding the one you've quoted

I'm confused. There is no such sentence. I quoted your first sentence. I just looked at all the parent posts and you didn't say anything at all about the compiler there either.

Hitting ^C isn't enough

I don't follow here either. Not enough for what?

Not enough to prevent the compiler from installing? Works for me.

Not enough to prevent the colour problem? Isn't it *too* much to prevent the colour problem? If you don't hit Ctrl-C, it installs a compiler and the issue becomes moot for future runs, right?

Complicated further by the fact that I use different colors for different types of session

I wonder how you achieve this. It's very likely an incompatibility with whatever provides your colour support.
