Perhaps you aren't losing your mind...
Do you also have the experience that that ash seems
to have problems with the "up-arrow" command recall
when the command is greater than the screen width -
you can't edit the first part of a multiline
command? (where multiline is a long command line
without the use of '\' ?)

After checking further, BusyBox ash (0.60.3) with
command auto completion seems to work here on bering
if you:
compile EXPR into busybox, and comment out line 204
in linuxrc:
# expr () { exp $@ ; }
Probably you could get away with not compiling in
expr and changing line 204 to read:
expr () { $(( $@ ; )) }
But the shell gurus should comment on that theory...
Also, at the top of linuxrc (line 30 something) there's
a call to [, which fails since busybox hasn't been
installed yet. Guess its a shell internal in ash, but
a "program" in BB.
The offending line is:
if [ $DEBUG ] ; then
A solution might be to change the line to read:
if /bin/busybox test $DEBUG ; then
or just define BB=/bin/busybox a little earlier in
the script and then call
if $BB test $DEBUG ; then
That seems to run through the linuxrc without any
errors, and gives a nice shell with auto completion
and correct behavior in using command recall.
