Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: strace

strace is doing something wrong and winds up modifying the behavior of a
running program -- in short, running "crontab -e" works fine, but
running "strace crontab -e" results in an error being thrown before the
editor is even invoked.

'crontab -e' returns an exit value of 0
'strace crontab -e' returns an exit value of 1

This reproducible on a fresh, up to date 10.04 LTS 64-bit install and
verified on a machine that was upgraded a few times.

I set EDITOR=cat below to remove most of the binary ncurses noise of my
default editor (nano).
