$ cp -a busybox busybox_a_very_long_filename_indeed

$ ./busybox_a_very_long_filename_indeed sleep 30 &

$ ./busybox pidof busybox_a_very_long_filename_indeed
17233

So it works for "real" executables.

In libbb/find_pid_by_name.c you can find an extended explanation why it
doesn't work for scripts.
