bug#21970: 24.5; Running 'bash -i -c' via shell-command hangs on FreeBSD

[Davor Cubranic]

M-x shell-command
/usr/local/bin/bash -i -c "echo hello"

Hangs until you press C-g (twice). I can see the bash process running at
100% via `top`. Adding `--norc --noprofile` to the command still hangs,
so it's not anything about the shell initialization files. The `-i`
option is the key: without it, everything works fine.

Running the same command via `async-shell-command` does not hang: Bash
outputs "hello" in the "*Async Shell Command*" buffer and returns.

bug#21970: Pls close: duplicate of 21972

I didn't think this got sent because Emacs looked stuck talking to the mail server. Anyways, #21972 has additional info, so this one should be closed.
