I get errors like
push-line-at-random:bindkey:5: no such keymap `\163'
But I don't understand what you mean.

I still don't understand the problem.

This doesn't solve my problem: for instance, after a Ctrl-L, the
message disappears. I think that the best thing I can do is to put
the jobs status directly to the terminal title, and this can be
done with TRAPCLD.

This is not what I want. I just want the prompt to reflect the jobs
status. Currently, my prompt is yellow when there are no jobs, and
green when there is at least one job.
