Run this in a "sh SCRIPT":
sha256sum /dev/null
echo END
sha256sum is a NOEXEC applet. It runs in a forked child. Then child exit()s.
By this time, entire script is read, and buffered in a FILE object
from fopen("SCRIPT"). But fgetc() did not consume entire input.
exit() lseeks back by -9 bytes, from <eof> to 'e' in 'echo'.
(this may be libc-specific).
This change of fd position *is shared with the parent*!
Now parent can read more, and it thinks there is another "echo END".
End result: two "echo END"s are run.
Fix this by _exit()ing instead.

On user request.
I thought enabling/disabling them all together is more consistent.
Evidently, some people do want them to be separately selectable.

When busybox is configured to contain a single applet an unnecessary
declaration of run_applet_and_exit results in a warning. Move the
declaration to avoid this.

Both calls to run_applet_and_exit are followed by the same code
to print an error message and return status 127. Remove this
duplication and make run_applet_and_exit static.

The array applet_nameofs consumes two bytes per applet. It encodes
nofork/noexec flags
suid flags
the offset of the applet name in the applet_name string
Change the applet_table build tool to store the flags in two separate
arrays (applet_flags and applet_suid). Replace applet_nameofs[] with a
smaller version that only stores a limited number of offsets.
This requires changes to the macros APPLET_IS_NOFORK, APPLET_IS_NOEXEC
and APPLET_SUID.
According to Valgrind the original find_applet_by_name required
353 cycles per call, averaged over all names. Adjusting the number
of known offsets allows space to be traded off against execution time:
KNOWN_OFFSETS cycles bytes (wrt KNOWN_OFFSETS = 0)
0 9057 -
2 4604 32
4 2407 75
8 1342 98
16 908 130
32 884 194
This patch uses KNOWN_OFFSETS = 8.
v2:
Remove some dead code from the applet_table tool;
Treat the applet in the middle of the table as a special case.
v3:
Use the middle applet to adjust the start of the linear search as
well as the last applet found.
v4:
Use an augmented linear search in find_applet_by_name.
Drop the special treatment of the middle name from get_applet_name:
most of the advantage now derives from the last stored value.
v5:
Don't store index in applet_nameofs, it can be calculated.
v6:

In standalone shell mode search the applet table as well as PATH
when tab completing a command.
Use a stupid linear search: we're also about to read all the
directories on PATH so efficiency isn't a big concern.

Audit of usage revealed a number of bad uses, with too long messages.
