| I recently encountered an issue while experimenting with different shell
| options in Bash. When launching Bash with both the `-n` (noexec) and `-o
| ignoreeof` flags in interactive mode (with no pipes or redirection),
| pressing `^D` (EOF) results in the message: "Use 'exit' to leave the
| shell."
The NetBSD shell has a different approach to that issue. Whenever an
interactive shell is about to prompt for a new command, it does the internal
equivalent of "set +n" (which in bash, I am guessing from your patch,
would be something like "executing = 1;")
Interactive shells with -n (noexec) set are pointless - being able to set
it isn't always, but keeping it set certainly is. I's suggest that
bash do the same, rather than telling some poor user to type another 99
^D (or whatever) characters.
