Summary: Job control in non-interactive hush broken

Details:

If I uncomment "dhcpcd &" in uclinux-dist/romfs/etc/rc (line 81) and have hush set to be the default shell, the board hangs on boot. Before the board hangs I do see the printk indicating that the interface has come up, so I'm guessing that dhcpcd is working fine but that the shell isn't putting it in the background correctly

If I switch to msh and do the same, the board boots fine and gets an IP address.

Hush job control seems fine on the command line but doesn't work in the start scripts.

I'm using a BlackStamp (Rev. C) and

#!/bin/sh

echo a

sleep 60 &

ls -d /

echo b
