I made some attempt to sift through the 3,511 issues. Apology for adding yet another to this hopelessly large list. I did *not* set-up for development and try to reproduce.

##### ANSIBLE VERSION
<!--- Paste verbatim output from "ansible --version" between quotes below -->
```
ansible 2.4.3.0
  config file = /Users/dclo/Documents/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/Users/dclo/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.6.4 (default, Mar 22 2018, 13:54:22) [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.39.2)]
```

##### CONFIGURATION
<!---
If using Ansible 2.4 or above, paste the results of "ansible-config dump --only-changed"
Otherwise, mention any settings you have changed/added/removed in ansible.cfg
(or using the ANSIBLE_* environment variables).
-->
```
DEFAULT_HOST_LIST(/Users/dclo/Documents/ansible/ansible.cfg) = ['/Users/dclo/Documents/ansible/staging']
DEFAULT_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE(/Users/dclo/Documents/ansible/ansible.cfg) = /Users/dclo/Documents/ansible/.vault_pass
```

##### OS / ENVIRONMENT
<!---
Mention the OS you are running Ansible from, and the OS you are
managing, or say "N/A" for anything that is not platform-specific.
Also mention the specific version of what you are trying to control,
e.g. if this is a network bug the version of firmware on the network device.
-->
macOS High Sierra 10.13.3

##### SUMMARY
<!--- Explain the problem briefly -->
`ansible-playbook test.yml -vvv` outputs the beginning of the `include_vars` task and then hangs.

##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE
<!---
For bugs, show exactly how to reproduce the problem, using a minimal test-case.
For new features, show how the feature would be used.
-->
- Create a vars file with ansible-vault (create/edit) that has malformed yaml.
- Include it in the playbook.

<!--- Paste example playbooks or commands between quotes below -->
```yaml
---
- hosts: all
   gather_facts: no
   tasks:
   - include_vars: "vars/vault.yml"
```

<!--- You can also paste gist.github.com links for larger files -->

##### EXPECTED RESULTS
<!--- What did you expect to happen when running the steps above? -->
Ansible outputs syntax error on the yaml file.

##### ACTUAL RESULTS
<!--- What actually happened? If possible run with extra verbosity (-vvvv) -->
Ansible hangs

<!--- Paste verbatim command output between quotes below -->
