BusyBox v1.10.4 (Debian 1.10.4) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

 Mr Pingu:~#

This new busybox stops after Mr so it doesnt display the full hostname if a space is included in the hostname it stops after this space

new:
Code:
~ $ root


BusyBox v1.18.4 (Debian 1.18.4power2) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

Mr:~#

note: I dont know if version match on the old , I just thought it was 1.10 so I changed to make the difference more clear
Hi! Please type in your hostname Mr\ Pingu instead
Somehow it's related with the added support for unicode format doing that would escape the whitespace
