Package: gdb
Version: 7.1-1+b1
Severity: normal

(gdb) help edit
Edit specified file or function.
With no argument, edits file containing most recent line listed.
Editing targets can be specified in these ways:
  FILE:LINENUM, to edit at that line in that file,
  FUNCTION, to edit at the beginning of that function,
  FILE:FUNCTION, to distinguish among like-named static functions.
  *ADDRESS, to edit at the line containing that address.
Uses EDITOR environment variable contents as editor (or ex as default).

Doesn't seem that it does, though:

(gdb) edit misprite.c:423
bash: /bin/ex: No such file or directory

In any case, could gdb default to sensible-editor instead?
