When starting TLA without the environment variable 'HOME' (I was starting it from Java via Runtime.exec) I get a 'fatal' that is not clear

The error message:
/home/zander/sources/tla-1.1pre8/src/tla/libarch/my.c:36:botched invariant !!home
PANIC: exiting on botched invariant

While this error message is unfriendly in itself; the real solution would naturally be to not fail without this variable in the first place, just skip the functionality it provides. printing a warning if you must.
