So i think that this is a busybox bug and not a yocto one. You can test this by downloading source tar ball from upstream and: ~/Desktop/busybox-1.19.3 $ ./expr 111517272011 - 111517292011 0 ~/Desktop/busybox-1.19.3 $ ./expr 111517272011 111517272011 ~/Desktop/busybox-1.19.3 $ ./expr 65536 - 4 65532 18011 2 andrei 2012-01-08 15:58:38 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > I compiled busybox on my machine and this bug is still present.

I will commit this change in order to fix this bug. Edwin, you can assign this bug to me if you didn't already fix this. 18022 3 andrei 2012-01-09 07:22:19 +0000 http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2012-January/015853.html 18114 4 lauri.hintsala 2012-01-12 23:01:34 +0000 Fix: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=91367de75575e79a94b2f90b6b7aa8740a039fc5 18133 5 lauri.hintsala 2012-01-13 01:53:47 +0000 (In reply to comment #4) > Fix: > http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=91367de75575e79a94b2f90b6b7aa8740a039fc5 Sorry. My fix was for yocto time set issue, which was caused by this bug.
