    something like that). There's no such escape sequence.

    Hmm, this looks more and more related to bug #265553 then. As I explain
    there, psmisc generates a line including escape sequences, and then truncates it to fit in the width of the screen. It adds this "+" to indicate the
    line was chopped. Since it doesn't take the escape sequences into
    account, the lines are often truncated at much shorter than $COLUMNS displayable characters, and also it could chop a line in the middle of
    an escape sequence, as it seems to have done here.

    If that sounds right, I'll reassign this bug to psmisc and merge it with #265553. I should have thought that when one finds two strange things,
    they're often related..
