re: imapd buffer overflow when HOME set to a very large string.

The code in question is never called when imapd is run as a daemon.  It is
only called when imapd is run under a shell (e.g. for testing).

I'll make the seg fault not happen in the next version, but basically it is
not an issue for actual imapd operation.
