      In the Build Environment section, I'm using envinject to set a couple variables via "Properties Content". One entry is:

      LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${WORKSPACE}/ref/dist/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

      Where I run into trouble is if a slave's environment doesn't already have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set. In these cases, what ends up happening is LD_LIBRARY_PATH gets set to a repeating sequence of: 

      <worksdpace>/ref/dist/lib:<workspace>/ref/dist/lib:...:<workspace>/ref/dist/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

      Where the value I'm prepending is present dozens of times followed by a non-expanded "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH".

      What I would expect is that the following would be injected into the environment: "<workspace>/ref/dist/lib:"
