That's never a good sign.

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.
