what we learned:
1) use full qualified cmd path in all scripts:

Code:

CMD_FIND="LANG=en_EN /bin/busybox find"

2) never ever change anything in busybox. Not even fix any bugs in it, unless you made absolutely sure the fix won't break some behavior somebody relies on (e.g. nobody will depend on busybox segfaulting, so such a bug of course must get fixed as soon as it gets detected)
3) don't replace busybox by any other shell, not even busybox-power. Install any such augmented shell as concurrent alternative and keep original busybox in place
[edit]
4) there's a reason why gnu packages install into /bin/gnu/* and not into /bin/*. There's a rationale behind my $PATH looking like

Code:

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin/gnu:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin/gnu:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
