[MiNT] Strange problem

[joska@nvg.org (Jo Even Skarstein)]

I have a strange problem that I hope somebody can help me with:

I've made a small MiNT "distribution" which consists of two parts,
a zip-archive with the actual files with 8+3 names, and a tarball
of the actual filesystem hierarchy which only consists of links to
the actual files. This tarball is unpacked to the ramdisk, and the
directories are then symlinked to /.

This works fine if the tarball is unpacked after N.AES is started,
but if it's unpacked from mint.cnf Thing (or any other AES application)
will crash with a bus-error if it tried to access / or any of the
linked directories. Non-AES applications works fine.

I.e. running this script:

#!/c/mint/jes/bin/sh
cd /ram
/c/mint/jes/bin/tar.ttp xf /c/mint/jes/jes.tar
cd /
/c/mint/jes/bin/ln.ttp -s /ram/bin /bin
/c/mint/jes/bin/ln.ttp -s /ram/usr/sbin /sbin
/c/mint/jes/bin/ln.ttp -s /ram/etc /etc
/c/mint/jes/bin/ln.ttp -s /ram/usr /usr
/c/mint/jes/bin/ln.ttp -s /ram/var /var

/usr/etc/syslogd
/bin/sh /etc/rc.net

...from mint.cnf doesn't work, while running it from n_aes.cnf works
fine. Does anybody know why?
