>Description:
sushi has various serious problems.

it bombs when using the usermgmt.conf editor:

expr: syntax error
sushi: fgetln: No such file or directory

using the startup config editor resulted in a trashed rc.conf, with no
overwrite confirmation or backup copy made.

Subsequent attempts to edit startup config result in:

core dumped. your fault! (signal 11)
Abort (core dumped)

I do not currently have a debug version to play around with.

screen redraws are a little buggy, when scrolling over the menu items,
some menu lines are flashed briefly before being overwritten with blanks.

obviously, this is far from an exhaustive list of problems.

>How-To-Repeat:
run sushi, attempt to use usermgmt.conf editor or startup config editor
to do anything useful, watch the sparks fly.

>Fix:
The user should at least have a chance to confirm changes to config files,
and they should be backed up before changes are made.

/etc/rc.conf should not be rewritten with variables which have not
changed, ie. those that are taken straight from /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
the settings I had in /etc/rc.conf are now gone - this should not
happen.

As for the random crashes, unknown.

It is obvious that sushi is not robust or had enough testing at the
moment. imho, we should reconsider shipping it with the 1.6 release.
