Environment Variable Value home Changed to hoem

Issue report

I recently upgraded from version 6.0.6 to 6.0.15 and noticed that one of my apps no longer started up correctly. This is when I noticed that the value for our environment variable RACK_SITE was being changed from home to hoem, which was breaking our startup logic in config.ru.

I tested different versions of passenger, and noticed that the issue began in version 6.0.7.

We have other apps that use that environment variable which are not affected, and I was able to work around this behavior by changing the value from home to public.

We are setting the environment variable in the Apache site conf like SetEnv RACK_SITE home. I can see that the environment variable is correctly set on the apache process by looking at /proc/<process id>/environ, and is incorrect in the ruby process.

I did a bit more digging and this only happens when I use SetEnv in the Apache config, when I export the environment variable in the shell before running apache, it works fine.

This seems similar to the report "Nginx passenger_env_var falsifying values" #2419 except this is occurring for apache?
