Is it a problem? Bash prints messages about signal-terminated processes --
at least those that don't die due to SIGINT or SIGPIPE -- when the
shell is not interactive. Most people want to know when their jobs die
and their scripts fail.
(And, by the way, historical versions of sh did the same thing.)
