Hi,
It seems, a trouble happens using busybox v1.5.0 (2007-03-28 14:34:43). I build an iso using: # udpcast-20070323-1.i586.rpm # udpcast-mkimage-20070328-1.i586.rpm # kernel-udpcast-2.6.20.4-1.i586.rpm
And I get strange things: # date Fri May 4 07:50:34 UTC 2007 # That's OK.
But: # date > /tmp/date.txt # cat /tmp/date.txt #
# A=`echo world` # echo $A world # That's OK.
But: # A=`date` # echo $A
#
No completion working.
Is it possible to correct this?
Thanks!

This is a bug in busybox itself (still present in 1.5.1). It only appears with statically compiled busyboxes and has been reported to the busybox dev team. But somehow, I've got the feeling that the busybox team not really cares about static compilation.
In the meantime, I've implemented a local fix in udpcast-20070602 (explicitly fflush'ing stdout just before exit)
Regards,
Alain
