I've given up on busybox > 1.2.1 since the developers feel the need to change all the
cmdline option every minor release[1] and add regression faster than I can run tests....
As a bonus: all >1.2.x version have superfluous rewrites of core parts with the sole
intent to annoy Bruce Perens...

I wouldn't be surprised if most of the scripts in OE suddenly break.

[1] I gave in an and ship util-linux-mount, util-linux-umount and procps-ps with angstrom
since the busybox utils cmdline options break the proper versions....
