Reboot implemention

Hi,
I was looking at the implementation of busybox's reboot while trying to
trace a bug that causes my system to hang when rebooting. I noticed that
the reboot command performs a sync(), then kills processes and reboots,
which could potentially cause a bug where processes write to the filesystem
after the sync before they are killed. On the other hand, in util-linux's
implementation of reboot, the processes are killed first, then a sync() and
reboot are done. Is there a reason why BusyBox's implementation is
different, or is it a bug?
Thanks,
Venkat Kuruturi
