uhh -- This won't run on many of the x86 processors... fails on Atom(TM) x5-Z8350 and the N2807 -- Even on a
i7-7700K it still crashes if the file is large (some size limit could be added?)
This was originally a assembly language program - there is a version in the sources that is C ( The make file is
building the assembly one with nasm )..
There was a time when the size mattered - and it is fast - simple and -- used
to work..
There is a C translation in the sources - could be that should be what gets
built?
But I have a hunch it is only me and a handful of other users.

I would hate to see this program go - but my assembly skills are not with x86 - could be the installed version
should be the C version?
The fact is it is not runable on many amd64 systems - and really shouldn't be
released as is.
I hope someone comes up and fixes it so it can run on atoms and N2807 etc.. -- I've confirmed it crashes and
likely causes corruption ( top shows left over processes.. ).
The only other shell editor that I have found with the e3ne key bindings is
diakonos - no longer in Debian.
I hope this doesn't disappear - but it really shouldn't be in stable in it's
current condition.
