Hi!

I've written a Busybox ash script that copies several thousand files. It works perfectly on my development system... but while booting up on the target machine, I get the following error while trying to copy the same file set:

cp: Argument list too long

Looks like it's coming from msh.c but I can't figure out why? There's over 350 mb of memory available in the target and everything else works normally to that point. I get the same error when trying to make symlinks to the files or trying to tar them.

I'd really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction... I can't get around needing to copy those darn files! :)

Thanks!
