msh bugs

[Ritesh Banerjee]

Hi Lei,
  busybox msh does not support functions as Vladimir mentioned. Your observation is because most standard Linux distros include a msh (which is the Minix shell) different from msh in busybox. Please make sure you run "busybox msh" to execute the shell script.

Thanks,
Ritesh

host x86 machine, all the scripts worked, even with function syntax.  My 
target machine is mmu-less ARM.
