Busybox currently has four command shells (1.3 should reduce that number a 
bit).  Which one are you using?  Can you reproduce your problem with one of 
the others?

It might be a bug in shell/cmdedit.c.  Can you get us a more specific 
reproduction sequence?

Also, BusyBox 1.2.0 is coming out on friday, you're talking about a version 
that's several years old.  Could you try a current snapshot and see if it 
still has this problem?
