Description: bashbug doesn't use vi as default editor

Repeat-By:
    unset EDITOR
    bashbug

Usually I have set my $EDITOR to /usr/bin/vim. For testing purposes I
commented out that setting and forgot to uncomment it later. Because of
the recent bug report "command bashbug does not work and something
more…" I entered the command and was surprised to find myself in the
unfamiliar emacs editor (which it took me a while to leave). However,
according to the man page:

ENVIRONMENT
       bashbug will utilize the following environment variables if they exist:

       EDITOR Specifies the preferred editor. If EDITOR is not set, bashbug 
attempts to locate  a
              number of alternative editors, including emacs, and defaults to 
vi.

bashbug should open vi.
