Example?  Why would it be?  And if it is, wouldn't BASH use the new value to
determine where to get ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc?  (I should test that,
but...)

Point is that doing this in /etc/profile subverts --noprofile and --norc
options in BASH.

It's in case $HOME is set or changed by /etc/profile.
