Hi,

I am using the hush in busybox on an ADI blackfin board and this problem is encountered, however I believe it's a common issue regarding the busybox 

How to reproduce:
1)Run busybox on a target board
2)try to modify the IFS var for shell, you will find something interesting, like:

root:/> IFS=':'
root:/> 
> 
>

In some applications we need to adjust the IFS dynamically so...

In old busybox versions like 1.13.4 there is no such issue
