Ok.

I've had this happen to me before.

Not much else you can do. I ended up writing a script that I could kill
it with the program name. Made things much easier.

Not necessarily the editor. When this happened to me, it was a corrupt
signature file. A while back I had instaled sigrot, and then thru a
whole mess of bad shutdowns by people that know nothing about linux, I
had to reinstall root, and lost sigrot. once I created a ~/.signature
(actually a ~/.sig/signature) file, everything worked again.
It's something to check on anyway.
