Thanks Denis. 

I installed 1.5.0. However I found that the telnet app doesn't compile
with uClibc BUFSIZE==256 in 1.5.0, calls BUG_telnet_globals_too_big().
So I had to increase my BUFSIZE anyway.

And now it's fairly broken; incoming TCP connections get refused (I'm
running inetd, netstat shows the sockets, but connections are not
accepted), and busybox's ash reports "-sh: can't access tty; job control
turned off". Hmm :(
