Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 25
Release Status: release

Description:
        This may seem strange, but I don't mind using ed to edit my crontab.
        My $EDITOR variable is set to /usr/bin/ed.
        I have 'set -o vi' in my .bashrc.
        When I (in most cases inadvertedly) hit <Esc> and then v, I get
        my current line in an ed session. The problem is that te stty
        settings are not sane.
        It was very hard to get out of this session before I knew what
        was wrong.

Repeat-By:
        exec bash -o vi
        export EDITOR=/usr/bin/bash
        <Esc> + <v>
        try to use ed.

Fix:
        You can use ed, but there's no echo and you have to use ^J instead of 
<Enter>
        After !stty sane^J ed functions normal.
        Also ^Z and fg %1 (when %1 is the suspended ed command) works
        After return to bash you need to give one extra <Enter> before <Esc> 
works
        again.

I hope this helps you to further improve Bash! Now that I know how to get out of
ed without opening a new session and killing it, this is much less of a problem.
