Hi,
if I set $EDITOR to sensible-editor, then I will get a fork bomb if I
call $EDITOR in a shell. It forks itself untill free memory is empty.
test it:
$> export $EDITOR=sensible-editor
$> $EDITOR
Under X in a console window you will have no chance to kill it. Only
hard reset will help.
In a terminal console it is possible.
Please add checks to prevent this misbehaviour.
Kindly regards,
Erik
