printf without any argument exits ash

Another strange problem I encountered today and I'm not sure if it's my
fault:

When running busybox on my desktop system (or on my thinclients, doesn't
matter) I encountered a strange problem with the "printf" applet today
(v1.13.1):

I can start the ash shell normally and can use "printf" to draw some
text on the screen.

tuxx at vi-edv003:~/busybox/busybox-1.13.1$ ./busybox ash
~/busybox/busybox-1.13.1 $ printf "this works\n"
this works


But, when I run "printf" without any argument, it simply kills the shell
as you can see here:

~/busybox/busybox-1.13.1 $ printf
BusyBox v1.13.1 (2008-12-09 10:34:51 CET) multi-call binary

No help available.

tuxx at vi-edv003:~/busybox/busybox-1.13.1$
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm dropped out of busybox ash, back into my bash shell on the host
system. On the thinclient, it even kicks me out of the console and
I have to relogin, because ash is the loginshell there.

Attached is my configuration file for bb1.13.1.

ciao,
