/*

 *        Effects: Attempts to locate the user's (by user, the owner of this
 *                 process is meant) home directory & return its pathname.
 *                 Returns NULL if unable to do so.  Does so by first checking
 *                 the environment variable HOME.  If it is unset, falls back
 *                 on the user's password entry.
 *         Note: The returned pointer may point to a static buffer & hence
 *               go away on further calls to getenv, get_home_directory,
 *               getpwuid, or related calls.  The caller should copy it
 *               if necessary.
