I think i'll run it with the designated --homedir for the test suite
itself, which should be safe.

Also, i may decide to change the testing homedir to be
randomly-generated, inside /tmp, rather than having it in the build
tree.

frustrating and annoying to have to deal with this, but this is what we
get for relying on the constrained length of un_path in the unix domain
socket struct. :/
