I think you need to specify some more limits.  Also, be aware
that by default, rt assumes you are editing, not displaying; I
made that error a few weeks ago, and issued a --queue=$myqueue,
which began changing the queue to all of our tickets, starting
with 1, to $myqueue.  Luckily, the low numbered tickets were test
tickets, and had been long closed, so it had no real
consequences, but still...

Is there any way that the default behavior of rt can be changed?
It seems silly to me to have the default be to make (potentially
difficult to fix) changes, considering that many people simply
run an unknown command with no options when they don't know what
it does.

Change line 99 to be "$edit = 0;" and we're good to go.
