Responsible-Changed-Why: 
I think src/lib/libutil/pw_util.c rev. 1.24 causes this incorrect behaviour -
either interrupt/quit/etc. signals should be ignored while the editor is
running, or the editor should be started in its own process group. Ignoring
signals is what 4.x do; the patch attached to this PR runs the editor in its
own process group, and has not been tested very well.
