[BusyBox] Problems with init and respawn.

Hi there,

I am using BusyBox v1.00-pre3 (on a PPC platform) and have a line

::respawn:/sbin/foobar

in my /etc/inittab.

When (the script) foobar exits it should be respawned by init.

But it's only respawned once. Then it is not started anymore.
If foobar sleeps for one second before actually dieing then it gets respwaned 
over and over again.

Why is that?


Thanks,

Steven
