Hello,

I'm moving the bug that I've reported on Alpine Linux:

https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/issues/11143

I've encountered a problem when using `crontab -e` with EDITOR=vim. It opens correctly the file, I save and I exit. Re-opening `crontab -e` shows me the initial file, just as if changes weren't saved.

This was seen with busybox 1.31.1.
