This is a trivial proposal.
If EDITOR envar is an empty string, wierd error message appears.
Typically, the following case occurs,
# EDITOR= visudo
sh: /etc/sudoers.tmp: Permission denied

I suggest you to do Editor[0] != '\0' check in addition to Editor != NULL check.

Thanks.

The EDITOR handling in my current source tree  has been rewritten and has this
fixed.  The next sudo release will not have this problem.
