Package: busybox-static
Version: 1:0.60.5-2
Severity: normal

When running busybox as a standalone shell, via "busybox sh", it hangs
 when I try to run "sh" again within it.  Matter of fact, it thrashes
 (i.e. approaching 100% cpu time).  It stops trying upon receipt of a
 'ctrl-C'.
I noticed this because it breaks some shell scripts.

I wish I had a suggestion as to why; I did peruse the compilation options
 available in the source, but nothing jumped out at me that seemed related
 to "recursive execution of sh".

An example:

  $ echo "echo hello" > foo.sh
  $ busybox sh foo.sh 
  hello
  $ busybox sh


  BusyBox v0.60.4 (2002.10.06-14:26+0000) Built-in shell (ash)
  Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

  ~ $ sh foo.sh
[hangs here, until ctrl-C]
  ~ $ sh
[hangs here, until ctrl-C]
  ~ $

The current version (1:1.17.1-8) in squeeze works correctly,
it does not have the described problem anymore.

So closing this bugreport.

Thanks!
