Description

I updated our resque pool gem from 0.3.0 to 0.4.0 and had to roll back because what had previously worked for passing the redis host variable to resque-pool no longer does.

I use god to manage resque, so I have a watch that passes the REDIS_HOST via the watch.env variable, but after the upgrade resque-pool changed from using my configured host location to localhost. Since this crashed the whole system on startup I can't comment on whether any other environment variables are getting through any better.

I've rolled back to 0.3.0 for now.

Research direction

Reproduce the regression with resque-pool 0.4.0, Redis, and god's watch.env setting for REDIS_HOST, comparing it with 0.3.0. No source file or test is named in the issue; done means the configured Redis host is passed through and resque-pool starts successfully instead of falling back to localhost.
