Yann & all:

I recompiled the kernel and busybox 1.1.0 pre1 with a new toolchain 
based on GCC 3.4.4, libc 2.3.5, and kernel headers from 2.6.14, and the 
problem appears to have gone away.

I will do some more testing, but at this point it appears that the issue 
is gcc or possibly kernel headers related.
