I added some additional logging code in the libomniORB4.so and found out 
that the environment variable can't be read in the shared library if 
exported by putenv(), but it can be successfully read if setenv() with 
override is used.

I don't know the reason, though, because it can be read in my source 
code if exported in any way.
