Package: busybox
Version: v0.50pre
Severity: normal

Busybox shell does not treat && as "and". Instead, it tries to background the
task as the following testcase demonstrates:


[Using bash:]

$ true && echo "true"
true


[Using Busybox shell:]

$ ./busybox sh

BusyBox v0.50pre (2001.03.02-16:46+0000) Built-in shell (lash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

$ true && echo "true"
[1] 20847
$ 
[1] Done                   true &
$
