To reproduce, run " mkfifo ~/stuck ", then run " nano '~/stuck' " (the single quotes around the fifo's path and name included).

Bug is present since at least nano-2.2.1.

(A tiny mitigation since nano-2.5.2 is that you get the message that "Directory '~' does not exist", so you know that /nano/ is hanging and not something else.)
