bug#41640: 28.0.50; shell startup very slow when init file is used

[Jan Synacek]

$ cat ~/.emacs.d/init_bash.sh
export PS1="emacs> "

$ emacs -Q

<inside Emacs, run 'M-x shell'>

It takes almost 2 seconds before the shell buffer appears and Emacs is
frozen in the mean time. Without the init file, the shell buffer appears
instantly.
