Thanks.

My suggestion for a quick fix to try is to not have HOME in the
environment so getpwuid(3) is used.
$ HOME= MH=$PWD/mh_profile mhparam path
mhparam: environment variable HOME is empty
$
$ env -u HOME MH=$PWD/mh_profile mhparam path
/tmp

I think nmh *as a whole* does need HOME to be non-empty if it's set.
