I don't have ENV set.

If I comment out the SHELLOPTS setting in ~/.zshrc then do this the
problem still appears:

rkitover AT eeebox ~ % export SHELLOPTS=igncr
rkitover AT eeebox ~ % bash --posix
bash: SHELLOPTS: readonly variable
%{
%}(%n@%m)[%h] %{%}%~%{%}
$

I do not have a ~/.profile, and ~/.bash_profile just reads ~/.bashrc. I
do not set SHELLOPTS in ~/.bashrc, it only has set -o igncr.

But if I want to use CRLF #/bin/sh scripts from zsh, then I have to set
SHELLOPTS.
