Thanks for the suggestion.
I looked at strace, but couldn't see any obvious cause (no EPERM for
example). I set up a new user where it all worked properly, so I
started to try and find a difference, and realised that my normal
userid uses gvim (echo $EDITOR --> gvim) while my new test user uses
vim. So to make the straces comparable I switched to using vim for
this task, but using vim I find works fine anyway. I don't really need
to find out why gvim doesn't work since I have a good work-around,
i.e. preface the pass edit command with EDITOR=vim.
I think that gvim detaches by default, so when it "exits" pass saves the
(unchanged) file. Then you edit the file but pass is long gone.
There might be a flag you can set to make it "block" or stay in the
foreground. That or use a different editor.
