Research direction

Start with jdk/jshell/ExternalEditorTest.java, especially ExternalEditorTest.testAccept(), and reproduce the failure using the linked Grinder configuration on Alpine. Trace how editor.sh is created and launched, then confirm that ExternalEditorTest passes on Alpine without the reported Exec format error.
