I suppose I should make checkpassword-reply not crash but rather tell
more nicely when it doesn't find some environment that it expects. I see
two possible reasons for the crash:

1) Your checkpassword didn't set USER environment.

2) Your checkpassword didn't set HOME environment.

What checkpassword binary/script are you using? In any case you should
fix it to return those to environments.
