I'm not sure if I'd go as far as `insight', but putting zleactive to
zero in entersubsh() sounds very plausible to me.  Entersubsh() is
sometimes called when we haven't really forked, but the intention is
always that the shell is about to exec a command in the manner it
would if it actually had forked.  In fact, turning off the interactive
capabilities is one of its major raisons d'etre, so this looks just
the place.

It's not clear to me, by the way, whether the subset of options that
gets turned off in entersubsh() --- currently MONITOR and USEZLE (aha!
that proves it --- if USEZLE is turned off, zleactive should certainly
go to zero) is correct.  If MONITOR, why not INTERACTIVE itself?

  interactive is set
