Hi:
   I am using busybox-1.0.1, my uClibc is configured with NO MMU. The init crashed my \
uClinux box, when it went into run() routine and tried to fork().   I added  "#define \
fork    vfork " statement, but didn't do any good. My questions are:
1. As I remebered, in previous version, the init is using vfork if compiling against \
mmu-less machine,  why is it removed in latest release?  2. Any plan to update the \
init.c for a vfork safe version? 3. Is there any other version init (for example, \
sysvinit, maybe) that has been ported to mmu-less platform (with uClibc and uClinux)?

Right now I boot up my uClinux box with msh, with "SIGSEGV" showed up after each \
exectution of the busybox command.

Thank you!

Regards
lei
