Means you shouldn't sass your editor.

Out of curiosity, what else was happening when you saw this message?  What
led up to it?

It's a Picospan message.  Picospan prints it when you finish editing
a response and the editor terminated in a way Picospan didn't expect.
So when you saw the message, what editor had you been using, and did
you exit it in a different way than you usually do?

Let me think.  I was responding to an item, with vi as my usual editor.
I had read in a long file (a bbs item in one of the conferences).  The
original file was about 100-200 lines long.  After editting, the
response was about30-50 lines long.  I exited in my usual way, with the
ZZ command.

Hmm, probably an irreproducible result.
