A question was posted a month ago by Mark Alamo to see if others had
problems with sourcing subscripts within msh.  We asked his firm to fix the
msh.c bug he described because we didn't have enough time to do it
ourselves.

When msh.c is executing a compound statement and there is a . command to
source another script file, msh.c will not execute the subscript until it's
completed executing the rest of the compound statement.

His example was this:

Echo "Start" ; . ./subA; echo "mid" ; . ./subB ; echo "end"

subA and subB execute AFTER end is printed in reverse order.  The same is
true if the sourced files are inside an if else fi, case esac, or any
compound statement.

Attached is a patch to msh.c.  It fixes the problem.  Cd to the root of your
busybox tree and execute "patch -p1 < msh.c.patch"

Unfortunately, I won't have more time to work on this so I hope that there
aren't any problems!

This is a bulk spelling fix patch against busybox-1.00-pre10.
If anyone gets a corrupted copy (and cares), let me know and
I will make alternate arrangements.

Erik - please apply.

Authors - please check that I didn't corrupt any meaning.

Package importers - see if any of these changes should be
passed to the upstream authors.

I glossed over lots of sloppy capitalizations, missing apostrophes,
mixed American/British spellings, and German-style compound words.

What is "pretect redefined for test" in cmdedit.c?

Good luck on the 1.00 release!

075dd81c44 Remove the CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_APPLETS_ALWAYS_WIN option. It was sortof
stupid and didn't work properly anyways.

1c31501b1b Ensure that getenv("PATH") stays current, since otherwise cmdedit
(which calls getenv("PATH")) would not operate upon the current
PATH settings, which was really quite iritating.

1c03923b0b Add in a shell tagline (per lash/hush behavior) to make it easier
to know which shell is in use.  Add in 'help' to list available
builtins, and fixup msh so it can do STANDALONE_SHELL.

ff9eee475f This is a busybox port of the Minix shell. It is reasonably capable,
handles all the basic stuff (for, case/esac, while, if/then/else), and
is very small (adds just 38k on x86).  It is not as rigorously correct
about Bourne semantics as bash, but for most things it is quite
workable.  There is still some work to be done to further shrink it (it
has its own globbing functions instead of using the libc ones, for
example), but it is quite usable as is.
