[uClibc]df segfaulting

[David Meggy]

Hi Michael,

I had a lot of problems with df and du segfaulting in the past.  The
easy fix is to ask your user to type df -h, as this doesn't segfault.  I
didn't have gdb running at that time, so my debugging was a little bit
more archaic.  What I did find was that it seemed to depend on a
combination of versions from busybox, uClibc, gcc, and binutils.  I
never was able to narrow down which package the problem was coming from,
since as I switched packages I couldn't find a pattern.  I'm a little
suspicious of gcc, since I have not had any more problems since
switching to gcc3.2.1, but I haven't tried uClibc 0.9.17 yet .

Oh, I'm working on an arm720T core processor.  I'm using uClibc 0.9.16,
gcc3.2.1, busybox 0.60.5, and binutils 2.13.1, without problems.
