Description Napoleon 2008-01-27 19:20:30 UTC

As per the title, busybox sed doesn't work when used with variable substitution.

busybox sed works when not used with substitution.

I went back to 1.7.4 and it works as it should.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.# xyz=`busybox echo "test"|busybox sed -e "s/t/r/"`
2.# echo $xyz
3.

Actual Results:  
$xyz is empty

Expected Results:  
echo $xyz should display "rest"

busybox was emerged with the "static" use flag because I need it for my initramfs. I cannot confirm that the flag is causing problems.
