[Locomotive-users] Issue with ENV['HOME']

[Locomotive 2.0.8, Rails Bundle 1.2.3]

When running my Rails app under Locomotive (development mode), the value of
ENV['HOME'] is wrapped in double quotes:

    "/Users/Olly"

When I run the app from the command line (with Mongrel or WeBrick) the value
is:

    /Users/Olly

Can anyone explain why, when running under Locomotive, the quotes are added
to the HOME environment variable?

This is causing a problem with ImageScience (because of ImageScience's
dependency on RubyInline) and the only workaround I have found is to add the
following to environment.rb:

    ENV['HOME'] = ENV['HOME'].gsub(/^"/, '').gsub(/"$/, '')

Help appreciated!   Pls can you cc: all replies to this email address?


Many thanks.
