Hmm, when STDOUT is not a terminal, then _is_interactive is false. I
guess the assumption here was that STDIN would be a set of scripted
answers? I guess it should only check eof(STDIN) if STDIN isn't a
terminal, but the _is_unattended() should be true?

It looks like the hang would have still occurred in r5918, since
_readline() would have still hit the eof(STDIN) check.
