Summary:                    more doesn't work due to /dev/tty
Description: 
I am using busybox 1.6.1. 

On some embeded system, there might be no /dev/tty. But more applet must
open /dev/tty, otherwise it just does a "cat". Why don't just let more to
getc() from stdin? That's will make more works everywhere.

Because of "cmd | more" case.

getc() from stdin will eat cmd's input, NOT your keyboard input. Imagine
how it will work in this case...

I think current behavior is ok.
