This happen in both stable & development branch.
If the program name to find is longer than 16 characters,
this function will failed. It won't return any pids.
After checking source codes, I found the program name
in /proc/<pid>/stat only contain 16 characters. 'killall'
in linux distribution will only match first 16 characters.
We should change busybox to do the same. I can build
a patch to fix this bug if it will help.
