if you build busybox without command-line editing enabled, does
the problem go away?  if editing is enabled, i assume you're in
emacs (default) mode, and not vi editing mode, correct?

if it only happens with command-line editing enabled, add a
printf somewhere in the default case of the big switch (line 1754
in svn) in read_line_input(), and see what's happening to your
characters.
