[olug] crontab -e problems

[William E. Kempf]

I'm having a strange problem with crontab.  I'm running Mandrake 9.1.  My
preferred editor is emacs, so I have EDITOR set to this.  When I run
"crontab -e", crontab creates the temporary fine, emacs opens it, I can
edit it, but when I save and exit crontab doesn't think it was edited, so
nothing gets saved back to the actual crontab file.

Anyone have any ideas what might cause this, or how I could fix it/work
around it?  This is quite annoying.
