I toyed with this, and it seems like runghc is forking off a ghc
process, which then tries to read .ghci (and possibly .inputrc) from
the $HOME directory.

Unfortunately, while runghc apparently parses -ignore-dot-ghci
(i.e. it refuses illegal options), it later on seems to treat it's a
source file to run.

As far as I can tell.
