DEADJOE

JOE (Joe’s own editor) has the feel of most IBM PC text editors: The key-sequences are reminiscent of WordStar and Turbo-C. JOE is much more powerful than those editors, however. JOE has all of the features a UNIX user should expect: full use of termcap/terminfo, excellent screen update optimizations, simple installation, and all of the UNIX-integration features of VI.
How-To-Repeat: use joe to edit a file, then kill -HUP its process.
I was able to reproduce this with joe 2.8 under Red Hat
6.0, with either Red Hat’s -18 patches or the
FreeBSD-current patches applied, so it looks like FreeBSD
is probably vulnerable too.
