Hm, I cannot reproduce it "normally" now, but I recall seeing
something like this.  The problem is easily reproducible using
this small program:

: #include <fcntl.h>
:=20
: int
: main(void)
: {
: 	(void) fcntl(0, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK);
: 	return (0);
: }

Assuming that it's called ./a.out, this works like this:

: $ ./a.out ; vi
: Error: input: Resource temporarily unavailable
: sh: turning off NDELAY mode
: $=20
