of appending)

i have here the same bug:
using "crontab -e" and saving it with vi (:wq), i get:
"crontab: no changes made to crontab"

i have installed vim packages like:
vim-enhanced-6.0-0.27
vim-common-6.0-0.27
vim-minimal-6.0-0.27

(they are newer than vim-6.0-0.23)

so i don't know if this is bug of vim or crontabs.
also if i edit user's crontab with other editor (pico), then a new crontab is 
written.

I am seeing the same thing on a Red Hat 7.2 box with the latest public updates
(as of 2002-04-25) installed.  Vim version is 6.0-7.13.
