I'm trying to find out why the sandbox feature in portage makes it crash in my |
| 2 |
system after a recent world update. I found out that mplayer also crashes if |
| 3 |
run as root because he "Can't find HOME directory". After a little dig-dug in |
| 4 |
the source I discovered that getenv("HOME") returns NULL, even though the |
| 5 |
command "set" displays "HOME=/root". Besides, if launched as "HOME=/root |
| 6 |
mplayer", the program runs fine. However, so do "ls ~" and "echo $HOME". |

Does anyone know where does this discrepancy come from? |
