Bogofilter needs to know where the wordlist is located.  Itr checks the
command line, the config file (/etc/bogofilter.cf or ~/.bogofilter.cf),
and environment variables (BOGOFILTER_DIR and HOME) for the directory
name.  If none of those are set, it can't operate.  My guess is that
neither HOME nor BOGOFILTER_DIR is set and you're not using a config
file.

The patch below will complain and exit, rather than dumping core.  Let
me know if it's helpful.
