For long and largely silly reasons, I had previously installed bashdb on my laptop (a step debugger for bash... yes there really were reasons). When I tried to get exec-path-from-shell working on that machine I kept getting issues during the initialize about a bad bash ioctl.
Uninstalling bashdb fixed it. But it seemed worth reporting that there is an incompatibility with that.
Thanks! This issue will hopefully allow people to google the problem in future, but I'll go ahead and close it because I don't think there's anything to be done on the exec-path-from-shell side.
