I noticed a problem with ifconfig in busybox 0.60.5. The matching code
seems to exist in busybox CVS as well, so I'll paste in the patch that
fixed it.
I was running:
# ifconfig wan0 1.2.3.4 pointopoint 1.2.3.5 netmask 255.255.255.255
I was seeing the inet addr and P-t-P addr both being set to 1.2.3.5
(the pointopoint address).
wan0 Link encap:Point-Point Protocol
inet addr:1.2.3.5 P-t-P:1.2.3.5 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1
...
The patch below seems to fix it.
hello
i had some trouble with the filedescriptor in udhcp.
Two things happened on my device:
1.) broken or not connected cable (no dhcp-server)
2.) daemonizing (starting with option -b)
i got a filedescriptor fd=0 from function raw_socket,
after daemonizing (daemon call) the fd is closed.
Client can't recieve data's anymore.
i fixed this problem (like pidfile handling):
Hey guys. I've found a bug in modprobe where it generates bad strings and
makes sytem calls with them. The following patch seems to have fixed the
problem. It is rather inherited elsewhere, as there seems to be incorrect
entries in the list which results in more dependencies than really exist for
a given call to mod_process. But, this patch prevents the bad text from
going to the screen. You will notice there are cases where lcmd goes
unmodified before calling system.
Please consider the following patch.
Thanks.

Hi Glenn.
I analysed BSS size gzip applet and found may be mistake:
updcrc() checking if (crc_table_empty) but not resetted this var.
This do make slow gzip applet ;-)
--w

to stderr, rather than stdout, so that things like
~ # time bunzip2 -c /tmp/test.bz2 > /dev/null
real 0m 29.44s
user 0m 29.30s
sys 0m 0.12s
operate as expected.
Use the old fork() method of tar compression support, rather than
read_bz2....
- (*uncompress)(int in, int out) seems like a more natural interface
for compression code.
- it might improve performance by seperating the work into one cpu
bound and one io bound process.
- There is extra code required to do read_[gz|bunzip] since (*uncompress)(int in,
int out) will normally be used by the standalone compression applet.
There have been problems with this method so if you see a "Short read"
error let me know.
in order to fix the problems with round robin DNS reported
by Andrew Flegg:
http://busybox.net/lists/busybox/2003-October/009579.html
This removes the ipv6 specific xconnect dns lookups. I do
not see why that would need to be special cased for ipv6 as
was done, but that will just have to be tested.
So IPV6 people -- please test this change!

Fixes two bugs:
- END block didn't execute after an exit() call
- huge memory consumption and performance degradation on large input
(now performance is comparable to gawk)
This hides a bug related to the new bunzip code in the tar and dpkg[-deb]
applets.
It will also reduce compile time a little as some unused files wont be
compiled.
