Ahem. I have (until now) never felt the need of rebooting (normally I turn-off and then on).
Just for the sake of it, I just went to the terminal, and, as root, typed "reboot". And guess what. It rebooted just fine
NOTE: I mean, I first became root (no sudo reboot, no sudo gainroot and then reboot, I mean first "root", and then "reboot").
I have KP47, busybox-power (the one in extras-testing). No CSSU.
The only weird things I've noticed after rebooting is that the transitions seem to be extremely jerky. I open the dialer and it stops mid-rotation (but works). I close it and see only half of the desktop (but I can click on a (invisible) shortcut and it works).
In dmesg I get a lot of "HWRecoveryResetSGX: SGX Hardware Recovery triggered", so I guess rebooting doesn't properly initialize the GPU.
I'm shutting down now and turning on normally, just in case.

Hmm.. reading https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7017 it appears that, at least for one user, the problem was with undervolting, which I also do ("standard" LV).
Maybe I'll try setting it back to std. voltage and reboot again. But most likely not today (I'm "on-call" today, so to speak).

@IDont:
Any thoughts on how to proceed with the "TMPDIR" issue?
I have been following the bugreport at busybox.net, and glibc is blamed for for this behaviour. Their only suggestion for a workaround is two busybox binaries. Maybe not the most elegant solution...
Today I adapted a script of mine which needed to ping to check a connection. As I did not want to run it as root, I decided to install Iputils-ping for now, replacing the busybox ping.

What would work for sure is reverting the commit that merged the binaries back together and duplicate some 'SUID applets', but that's more like a last resort solution.

Back with an update: I've been experimenting with some workarounds I had thought of last week. Unfortunately, they did not work. I had some hope in creating logic to temporarily store TMPDIR in another variable, but that didn't work out too well.
I can think of three other solutions that would work for sure:
-Parse a simple key-value configuration file (e.g. /etc/environment) to set default environment variables when they're not already set
-Split busybox back into busybox and busybox_root and duplicate some 'SUID' applets.
-Hard-code TMPDIR in BusyBox' main(), which completely defies the meaning of "variable", and thus won't be done
It looks like I'll have another busy week ahead of me, but I'm pretty optimistic to have something working this week.

There's a special build of busybox-power 1.19.3power3 up at our garage page. It installs /etc/environment and parses it prior to applet launch. This file contains simple key-value entries to set environment variables.
Environment variables are only loaded if they're not already set; user/system set variables take precedence over the configuration file (launching "foo" with "TMPDIR=/bar foo" makes TMPDIR not get loaded from the configuration file).
Lastly, /bin/busybox is setuid again in this build, which made eglibc drop e.g. TMPDIR in the first place
.
Please test this build and report back any issues you encounter. The build can be found here: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/shownot...elease_id=4754. The parser will be included in busybox-power 1.19.3power4 if no bugs are found.
I've attached the created patch to this post. The introduced load_env_vars() function is based on the already existing parse_config_file() function, so I'm not expecting too much issues. However, as always, feedback is highly appreciated.

Do you happen to have a framebuffer enabled? How soon after the Nokia screen did it reboot?
Edit: Also, did you notice anything out of the ordinary after installing the deb?

After installing all looked good (ping worked as user, no error messages). Just to be sure I decided to reboot for a final check.
Not aware that I have framebuffer enabled, but I do have installed backup menu.
In the root console of backup menu see the new busybox:
BusyBox v1.19.3 (Debian 1.19.3power3~envparser) built-in shell (ash)
