Hmm, there is one little change, unrelated to the other stuff, that
slipped in in LYUtils.c.  I didn't really mean to send that, but...

* Unix: Dont accept HOME variable with valid if it does not begin with
  a slash.

Maybe it makes some simple attempts to exploit buffer overflows more
visible, but could be easily avoided.  So it may not be too useful.
Could there ever be a good reason for having a HOME set that does not
start with "/"?
