To maximise chances that the splash applet is accepted in BusyBox, please
pay attention to the size. The binary in the initrd is 622KiB. So, it is
statically linked and unstripped. Stripped, it goes down to 556KiB, but even
though, it still is a big baby.

Be carefull, such a big applet will most probably be dumped.

If you posted your code, we could review it and try to shrink it before you
submit it for inclusion.

Yann E. MORIN.

PS. I don't usually pay much attention to applets, but that one appeals to me
    somewhat, I will try to give it a look although I moving house this month.
YEM.
