If you can then I'd set PREFER_APPLETS and use busybox hush or busybox ash as /bin/sh with one binary and thus avoid the whole filesystem roundtrip penalties.

At least that is what one normally does anyway and which works satisfactorily in a lot if setups.

Anyway, good to see it's not a busybox or compiler bug so all is well as far as I'm concerned.

thanks,
