man bbedit
At the bottom it notes:
Some tools (notably crontab), will not work correctly if your EDITOR variable
consists of multiple terms. You can work around this by creating a simple shell
script that calls bbedit -w, then using the shell script as your EDITOR. For
example:
#!/bin/sh
bbedit -w "$@"
