I'm sorry for the lack of debug symbols.
The expected behavior would be to print an error message and exit gracefully.
Creating and chowning ~/.config solves the problem.

Well, since there's an small, safe patch at hand, let's do this for the next release instead of 2.90.
Thanks for chasing this down, mike.dld. :)
Patched in r14240.

I agree this should be fixed since we should try to never let T crash... but still... that's one crazy use case. :)
