scans /etc/inittab entries so that commands can contain ":"s.
-Erik
* zcat now works (wasn't working since option parsing was broken)
* Renamed "mnc" to the more correct "nc" (for netcat).
* Makefile intelligence updates
+ * Changed the way init parses /etc/inittab entries to avoid problems
+ with commands that contain colons in them. Fix thanks to
+ Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
* More doc updates
- '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
+ 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.

Current documentation for BusyBox includes:

This is a list of the all the available commands in BusyBox with complete
usage information and examples of how to use each app. I spent
a <em>lot</em> of time updating these docs and trying to make them
