bash turns off job_control when non-interactive, but also more..

[jkh]

Hi guys,

We have some UNIX conformance test suites which are failing, specifically
they're failing on the %% job argument essentially as follows:

#!/bin/bash
cat &
kill -1 %% && echo I killed it || echo could not kill it

If you run this script, it will emit an error saying the %% argument to kill
is invalid and it could not kill the job.  Looking into builtins/kill.def,
you see that it specifically checks interactive and job_control (both of which
are 0 in the case of a shell script) and disables the code which would expand
the %% form in the script.  Are you sure this is correct?  The Open Group,
which uses this in a number of its job control test scripts, doesn't
appear to think so...  Thanks!
