I ran messages while logged in on a public workstation.  Then I ran 
cui on my workstation (where my home directory has a different pathname):

	% cui
	Could not rebuild subscription map ~/.MESSAGES/.SubscriptionMap (2, 13, 24)
	Changing profile entry for /mit/jfc/.MESSAGES/andrew to ~/.MESSAGES/andrew
	Changing profile entry for /mit/jfc/.MESSAGES/gnu to ~/.MESSAGES/gnu
	Changing profile entry for /mit/jfc/.MESSAGES/mail to ~/.MESSAGES/mail

Both programs were run from tandrew.  I think messages was using absolute
pathnames when it should have made them relative to $HOME.
