I agree, even though the ABORTTHISJOB statement is missing the leading
exclamation mark ("!"), that this appears confusing.  BTW, the missing
! is quite important because it tells the CI that the next command is
expected to be a CI command, and not a left over EDITOR command.
After all processes (run by the CI) terminate, the CI flushes $STDIN until
it encounters the first command with a leading "!", or more accurately,
until
the input spooler "pseudo colon" is found in column one.  The CI does this
to prevent a job from aborting in cases where the program that was just run
did
not read all of its $stdin input.  If you put a leading "!" in front of the
bogus command name all should work fine.
