They should be close, at least based on the same thing at one point.
The minix shell in the dist (user/sh) is still the original multi-source
version, not a single file as in busybox. It has fixes to ensure it doesn't
corrupt it's parents stack among others, can't remember them all. I suspect
quite a few of the fixes are not in the busybox version.
