If you find bugs, please submit a detailed bug report to the BusyBox mailing The developers of BusyBox are busy people, and have only so much they can
list at busybox@mail.busybox.net. A well-written bug report should include a keep in their brains at a time. As a result, bug reports sometimes get
transcript of a shell session that demonstrates the bad behavior and enables lost when posted to the mailing list. To prevent your bug report from
anyone else to duplicate the bug on their own machine. The following is such getting lost, if you find a bug in BusyBox, please use the <a

To: busybox@mail.busybox.net

When I execute BusyBox 'date' it produces unexpected results.
With GNU date I get the following output:
$ date
Fri Oct 8 14:19:41 MDT 2004
But when I use BusyBox date I get this instead:
$ date
illegal instruction
I am using Debian unstable, kernel version 2.4.27 on a x86 system,
and the latest uClibc from CVS. Thanks for the wonderful program!

Note the careful description and use of examples showing not only what BusyBox
does, but also a counter example showing what an equivalent GNU app does. Bug
reports lacking proper detail may never be fixed... Thanks for understanding.
