The fault could be in some other program accessing the terminal.  Bash
does not clear O_NONBLOCK on displaying a prompt, so if a previously
executed program sets O_NONBLOCK on stdin and then exits, that state
will remain until some other program unsets it.  For example:

$ cat >foo.c
#include <fcntl.h>
int main(void) {fcntl(0, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK); return 0;}
^D
$ cc foo.c
$ ./a.out
$ cat
cat: -: Resource temporarily unavailable
