I suspect you have some buggy middleware that's returning Strings
as the body (instead of Strings inside Arrays or something else)

What middlewares do you have loaded?

You can insert Rack::Lint in between every middleware to detect buggy
ones.  If Rack::Lint slows you down too much, you can also try just
removing them one-at-a-time to isolate the buggy one.

The Rack spec only requires the response body respond to the "each"
method and that yields String (or String-like) objects.

Maybe Passenger is more lenient with the Rack specs and/or working
around bugs.
