Package: darcs
Version: 1.0.2-1
Severity: normal

When recording a change and choosing to enter a long message, darcs ignores my
preferred editor, and fails to find emacs, yet records the changes anyway.  The
output looks like this:

Do you want to add a long comment? [yn] y
Received SIGHUP or SIGTERM
sh: emacs: command not found
sh: emacs: command not found
Received SIGHUP or SIGTERM
Finished recording patch 'pre-darcs changes to 0.8'

$EDITOR is definitely set, and the editor is available.  I tried with EDITOR set
to both fte and nano, with no luck.
