I was adding -s/--symbolic-link support to busybox cp when I noticed a
bug with -r/-a. Test case:
mkdir -p test/out
cd test
busybox cp -a * out/
Will never return until we run out of open files or similar.
Coreutils cp on the other hand will error with "cannot copy a directory,
`out', into itself, `out'". Patch attached.
The config file processing for inetd in busybox-1.00-pre7 and newer
is broken -- the saved command argv[] values overwrite each other.
Patch to fix it is attached.
Cheers

Hi All,
I aplogoize for the mistake, but i have just recognized that somehow the
last patch I sent in was wrong, and a '0' was instead of a '-1'. Because
of this, vi does behave the wrong way. So again, it should be the last
patch for vi. This is for pre7.
Richard,

Thanks. Patch attached.

with 2.6.x asm/posix_types.h, which has done singularly evil thing
by yanking __kernel_dev_t and renaming it. The loop interface was
really poorly designed in the first place. The new 64 bit loop
interface looks to be somewhat less horrible, too bad it is only
present in 2.6.x kernels.

Hi,
I've noticed the bug also, and here is another patch for it. I hope it'll
not introduce more bugs. Not too nice, but works for me.
Here it is for busybox-1.00-pre6
Hi,
When httpd connection is closed, bosybox httpd will
not stop reading from CGI program. This patch fix this
problem. It check the return value of bb_full_write and
stop reading from CGI if the connection is closed.
Please apply this patch.

Hello,
when calling seq with
seq 1 1
it generates an "endless" list of numbers until the counter wraps and
reaches 1 again. The follwoing small patch should introduce the
expected behavior (output of 1 and termination):
regards,

While building glibc with busybox as part of the development environment, I
found a bug in glibc's regexec can throw sed into an endless loop. This
fixes it. Should I put an #ifdef around it or something? (Note, this patch
also contains the "this is not gnu sed 4.0" hack I posted earlier, which is
also needed to build glibc...)
out during the allocation process. When vodz changed it to be allocated on the
stack, he forgot to explicitly zero it, leaving its value filled with whatever
used to be sitting on the stack. It would garbage values, depending on the
garbage that happened to be sitting on the stack when the function was called.
The result was that applets using bb_getopt_ulflags() were showing
unpredictable behavior (such as segfaults), which naturally broke many things.
- synced with dash 0.4.21
- better handle trap "cmds..." SIGINT (strange, i make bad hack for ash
and cmdedit, but this work only with this...)
- may be haven`t problem with Ctrl-D
No checking for lines that were too long.
No checking that fgets returning NULL was actually due to EOF.
Various whitespace handling inconsistencies.
Bloat (switches and multiple identical function calls).
Failure to check for trailing characters in some cases.
Dynamicly allocated memory was not free()d on error.
Given that this controls suid/sgid behavior, the sloppy coding was
really inexcusable. :-(
