[BusyBox] Ash memory question/problem

[Jeff Angielski]

It would seem that everytime I run a command in the shell I lose another
4k of free memory.  This occurs with the original BusyBox 0.60.1 that
comes with the Denx ELDK 2.1 root filesystem (although I am running off
a JFFS2 filesystem).  It also occurs with Busybox pre3, pre3, and
today's unstable-12/15/2003.

If I do a lot of things on the system I eventually run out of memory and
the system comes to it's knees.

I was just wondering if anybody out there using the DENX filesystem and
Busybox is experiencing the same behavior.

Here is an example:
