 This is because you have the `EDITOR' environment variable set to be
 `/stand/ee', and you must have deleted /stand or something for it not
 to exist anymore. The behaviour is exactly as expected. Remove the
 setting of the EDITOR variable from your .cshrc file and they should
 both work fine.

This was actually a bogus EDITOR setting in root's .cshrc - it's been 
fixed.
