Various bits of what is known about busybox shells, in no particular order.

hush: environment cannot be handled by libc routines as they are leaky
(by API design and thus unfixable): hush will leak memory in this script,
bash does not:
pid=$$
while true; do
unset t;
t=111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
export t
ps -o vsz,pid,comm | grep " $pid "
done
The fix is to not use setenv/putenv/unsetenv but manipulate env ourself. TODO.
hush: meanwhile, first three command subst bugs mentioned below are fixed. :)

bash-3.2# echo "TEST`date;echo;echo`BEST"
