I don't quite track stable (BTW, the upgrade from 1.2 + some hamm to
1.3 + some hamm went remarkably well), but:

# strace -o trace -f vipw -s

produces some of the following in `trace':

2196  execve("/sbin/vi", ["vi", "/etc/shadow.edit", 0x1, "w", "r"], [/* 42 vars 
*/]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
2196  execve("/bin/vi", ["vi", "/etc/shadow.edit", 0x1, "w", "r"], [/* 42 vars 
*/]) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
                                                   ^^^
I'd say this is a bug.  You should report it to the bug-tracking
system (if it's not already there).
