It appears that the EDITOR environment variable isn't set at all after an
install, or, at least in my case, the first time i went to use crontab the var
wasn't set and i couldn't edit my crontab.

Setting

EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim
export EDITOR

at the end of /etc/profile fixed it, although I couldn't find a reference doc
saying that was the proper place for it.
