It was a bit more invasive:
The /sbin/sushell is merely a wrapper around /bin/bash (or whatever
$SUSHELL is set to).
All that was needed was a new line "export HOME=/".

The advantage is that when you exit the application abnormally, you end
up in a shell (the "normal" way out is the application calling "init
0"). This had proved useful in the past.

Thanks to both of you, André and you.
