Just a note about this: This was tried with bash. Ash may handle
jobs differently. I will test with ash if you don't beat me to it.

This should work with either version.

Yes. The older version was compiled without runtime CPU detection
on glibc, which allows it to work with 2.2.16, but only on a PII.
I tried to compile it with runtime CPU detection, but I seem to
have broken my glibc development environment, so I cannot compile
against glibc now. The current version was built against uClibc,
which invokes the bug with 2.2.16.
