* A bug in syslogd was fixed that allowed it to potentially fork-bomb
* Fixed tar handling of stdin and stdout
* Renamed "internal.h" to the more sensible "busybox.h"
* Preliminary support for GNU HURD.
+ * Updated my devps and devmtab kernel patches for the latest 2.2.x
+ kernel, for those wanting to go proc-less.
* Tons of other bugfixes.
* Major init re-work. init now supports inittab (slightly different
but similar to sysvinit), allowing me to get all the policy out of
init and into the conf file. It works just fine without inittab
- being present, but if you dont like the defautl behavior you can
+ being present, but if you dont like the default behavior you can

* Fixed an bug in syslogd causing it to stop after 20 minutes. -erik
