78 | <li>init: wait for orphaned children too while waiting for sysinit-like processes (harald-tuxbox AT arcor.de) | ||
79 | <li>ip route: "ip route" was misbehaving (extra argv+1 ate 1st env var) | ||
80 | <li>last: do not go into endless loop on read error | ||

110 | <li>msh: glob0/glob1/glob2/glob3 were just a sorting routine, removed | ||
111 | <li>msh: instead of fixing "ls | cd", "cd | ls" etc disallow builtins in pipes. They make no sense there anyway | ||
