empty HOME variable crashes client

Good morning, mysqlers!

We found that running any mysql client with set but empty HOME variable
generates coredump. To reproduce error execute
env -i HOME= mysqladmin
env -i HOME= mysql

At the same time following works
env -i mysqladmin
env -i mysql

Problem found for mysql-4.0.15 on linux-ia64 and hpux-11.11 platforms.

Regards,

This would crash most of UNIX programs on your system anyway.

But yes, we should fix it too.
