Another thing I sometimes do to test a command "foo" is
env -i >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null foo
which ought to remove tty-ness as well as all environment variables
(e.g. $HOME and $TERM). Sticking a "sudo -u nobody" in front also
occurs to me, since sometimes programs use nss to expand ~ instead of
honouring $HOME...
