It's not extremely difficult to see the problem here: if you can't trust your editor if you need to edit your .profile, or if you can't trust it to properly handle its contents -- a program crash is not necessarily involved -- then what good is it to you that you have a secure way of opening it?
Who or what specifies what is or is not permitted?
