That kind of thing (not precisely that) is why the NetBSD shell took the 
approach
it does, of simply disabling -n for each new command, rather than ignoring it
completely for interactive shells.

One way to handle that the way that bash does things, would be to only disable 
the
'n' option at startup if the shell becomes interactive the "normal" way, and not
when that is forced by use of -i.
