The problem is that gnujump relies on $HOME being set, and does not
properly check for getenv() returning NULL. This is not a security
issue, but still something one should fix I think.

I have prepared a patch at [1]. Could you have a look at it?

BTW, Debian has accumulated quite a few patches against gnujump [2], are
you planing any new release and want to include these? :)
