My be would be an ash bug... as bash seems to work OK; if you can't
change your scripts to call bash instead of /bin/sh, then perhaps could
you just copy bash over /bin/sh (which should be an ash copy...). I
don't know if there is any reason to avoid it (except perhaps that bash
is quite bigger than ash, and such may slow a bit makes that spawn a lot
of /bin/sh...)
