 Bugs that need fixing:
 
+ - 'ln -n' has been disabled for this release, till we can fix a memory
+    corruption bug.
+ - fix 'cp' (or test suite script) so that it passes the last item in
+    the test suite.
+ - ps dirent race bug (need to stat the file before attempting chdir)
+ - Make 'ln -s /tmp/file .' work the way GNU ln does (i.e. makes a link to 
+    /tmp/file in the current directory, rather then trying and failing to create
+    a symlink named "." in the current working directory).
+ - Prune sfdisk, graft in std fdisk instead

+We will rework these to use libc regex functions instead (as per the mailing
+list discussion):
  - 'grep foo$ file' doesn't work
  - 'grep *foo file' segfaults
- - ps dirent race bug (need to stat the file before attempting chdir)
- - The following commands segfault:
-       chmod -R
-       chown -R
-       chgrp -R
-       cp -a -a
-       ln -s -s
-       rm -f
-       rm -f -
-       rm -- -
-       touch -c
-  - I believe that swaponoff may also be also broken (check it).
-  - It used to be that BusyBox tar would happily overwrite existing files on
-  an extraction.  However, as of 0.42, BusyBox tar simply dies as soon as an 
-  existing file is found.

+Linux 2.4.x kernels
+
+BusyBox 0.46 currently will not work with the Linux 2.4.x kernels.  
+I know of the following problems:
+
+1) BusyBox NFS support is broken with 2.4.x (needs to be adjusted for NFSv3 and
+    kernel header changes).
+
+As long as I have BB_FEATURE_NFSMOUNT turned off, everything compiles cleanly
+for me with linux2.4.0test2.  I use Debian potato (gcc 2.95.2, GNU libc 2.1.3).
+Of course, as noted above, compiling != working.
