Bash doesn't handle signals properly in interactive shells.

E.g.,

trap 'echo signal' 1 2 3
bash-3.2$ ^Csignal

bash-3.2$ sleep 10
^C                      (other shells run the trap handler)
bash-3.2$ 

I believe that this is a mistake.  I seem to remember there's also a 
problem in certain invocation of bash in a Makefile, but I don't remember 
the particulars.
