I_HATE_MBOX From the Bash Manual:

# `\['
#      Begin a sequence of non-printing characters.  This could be used to
#      embed a terminal control sequence into the prompt.
# 
# `\]'
#      End a sequence of non-printing characters.

corrected prompt:
export PS1='\[\033[1;31m\]\h:\w\$\[\033[0;37m\] '
