Package: cogito
Version: 0.18.2-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
The patch applied to fix bug #402413 introduced a new bug: If $EDITOR is
not set, the _editor() function calls 'editor', which happens to match
the shell function editor(), which in turn calls _editor(), leading to
an infinite recursion. (Segemantation fault of bash, in fact).
A possible fix would be to add a path to the call of 'editor', calling
/usr/bin/editor directly and avoiding the shell function.
Thus, the patch 0002-use-editor-instead-of-vi-if-EDITOR-is-unset.diff
should look like:
