I know this is obvious, and there are exceptions to the rule,
but if the kernel oopses, it's not busybox's fault.

Start by finding the source line/code path in the kernel
with e.g., ksymoops.  It's nice you have a reproducible
way to trigger it.  Then take up the problem with the
maintainers of your kernel.
