Including </dev/tty> and completing from header will cause freezing up

[tyru-2]

This problem is occurred only on console version.

    :setf c

and write this to buffer

    #include </dev/tty>

and complete from include header (<C-x><C-i>) will cause vim to freeze.

Why are you doing this?  I can't imagine it's a good idea in any
circumstance.

It's hardly surprising that Vim freezes up, considering you're
essentially causing Vim to try to treat the current TTY's input stream
like a normal file for completion type purposes, while at the same
time Vim also is trying to use the TTY for user input.

In other words, this is not a Vim bug, just a Unix user shooting
himself in the foot, which Unix doesn't really try to prevent.
