Can you reproduce it with

   bash --norc

Or with:

   INPUTRC=/dev/null bash --norc

?

If you could reproduce it with:

   strace -o strace.log bash --norc

that would allow us to see where a O_NONBLOCK flag is set and
not reset.

BTW, what's the point of the check_dev_tty() function? It seems
it just attempts to open the tty (the controlling one or the one
open on stdin), closes it, but doesn't return anything about the
success of failure in doing so.

On my system (Debian amd64, 5.0.3(1)-release, bash started from
a regular terminal emulator), it's the only place where I see
O_NONBLOCK being used (and that's on a new fd that is closed
straight after, so it could not have any bearing on the OP's
issue).
