That shouldn't matter much if your $editor is explicit, but at least it's

Good enough.

No, make sure that you *first* call vim and you *then* wait. You need to
see that vim is really called and see what messages, if any, it returns.

Possbile, but not probable. I'm still betting on a vim config, though a
full /tmp as already mentioned might be a good place to start (my vim
tmpdir is $HOME/tmp; I forget about the defaults sometimes :-)
