Urxvt character artifact problem.

Question

Here's the problem:
When I use the up/down arrows to scroll through recently used commands, sometimes characters "stick" so that it looks like I have a chunk of a recent command in the line. Backspace does not delete these and they don't do anything if I hit Enter.
They disappear if I resize the window (or do anything that forces the window to refresh itself).
Some files:
.bashrc
alias go='startx'
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
alias pacman='pacman-color'
alias sudo='sudo '
alias cp='cp -ivr'
alias mv='mv -iv'
#PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
PS1='\[\e[0;32m[\]\e[0;37m\]\u\[\e[m\] \[\e[1;34m\]\w\[\e[m\] \[\e[0;32m]\]\[\e[0;37m\]\$ \[\e[m\]\[\e[0;32m\] '
complete -cf sudo
export XTERM='urxvt'
export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
extract () {
if [ -f $1 ] ; then
case $1 in
*.tar.bz2) tar xjf $1 ;;
*.tar.gz) tar xzf $1 ;;
*.bz2) bunzip2 $1 ;;
*.rar) unrar x $1 ;;
*.gz) gunzip $1 ;;
*.tar) tar xf $1 ;;
*.tbz2) tar xjf $1 ;;
*.tgz) tar xzf $1 ;;
*.zip) unzip $1 ;;
*.Z) uncompress $1 ;;
*.7z) 7z x $1 ;;
*) echo "'$1' cannot be extracted via extract()" ;;
esac
else
echo "'$1' is not a valid file"

EDIT: Picture
in the image you'll see a line "emacs cd ~/.wine/dosdevices/" and all it does is cd to that directory. The emacs is one of these artifacts I'm refering to. It was put there from using the up/down keys to scroll through commands. Same goes for the wine32pacman line.
