Hello all,

	I've been having an interesting problem with editting my
crontabs using crontab -e on Slackware 10.1. I've been trying to learn
vi/vim commands, so I have vim set as my $EDITOr and $VISUAL so crontab
- -e (and other things) will pick it up by default. However, after using
:wq to write out the crontab file, if I do crontab -l, I get the
contents of my crontab before it was editted (i.e. it's not picking up
the modifications for some reason). Anyone else experienced this
problem?
