My ~/.emacs start-up file is stored in my AFS home directory. Often when I login to a linux machine I will forget to renew my AFS credentials before attempting to edit a local (non-AFS) file with Emacs.
When this happens Emacs will attempt to load ~./emacs but cannot because it is in AFS space where…

(defvar program-dir (substring data-directory 0 -4))
(setq inhibit-startup-message t)
(setenv "HOME" program-dir)
