 After upgrading to busybox-1.8.2 I've not experienced this any more.
 Perhaps it's just a coincidence due to the random nature of this problem.

Are you talking about the host system or in your genkernel.conf ?

What I did was simply to add busybox-1.8.2 to the stage3 build, then
rebuild the livecd stages and generate the iso. But now I realise that
it probably doesn't have anything to do with what genkernel do later on
(?) as genkernel seems to use its own busybox (version 1.1.3) which is
uses for its initrd images. So I guess I just was lucky...
