great that the bug has been found! Personally I would prefer a hackish
fix, for now... because, yes, there is the code freeze for 3.8.0 and
upgrading busybox to 1.4.1 may introduce some unwanted and unpredictable
new bugs. I'll look if it's possible to resolve in a smart way maybe
backporting the patch...
