There's no such thing as a "standard .bashrc", at least not from the
point of view of a bash bug mailing list.  Files like .bashrc are
supplied by the OS vendor, or created by the user.

That's certainly *not* how I'd write that check.  If the goal is to
protect a block of commands from running when the shell is invoked
without a terminal, then I'd prefer this:

if [ -t 1 ]; then
    # All your terminal commands go here
    stty kill ^u susp ^z intr ^c
    ...
fi

But this bug report really needs to be made against your OS, not bash.
