Setting -echo and leaving a dangling fork results in an ash crash. I have a relatively stripped down busybox, I am using the busybox coreutls. Reproduce: stty -echo sleep 1 & ps & ^ This is the problem ash will crash. I have done the same thing with bash and dash and neither crash. If I have time I will endeavour to get more information.
Can't reproduce: does not crash for me. Tried on current git: v1.36.0.git
