I can confirm that I can reliably see this on the imx53 porter box
(abel) too.

Digging further with the built-in debug TRACE function, I can see
problems in usr/dash/eval.c:evalcommand(). The place where cmd
switches from non-NULL to NULL is

  status = redirectsafe(cmd->ncmd.redirect, REDIR_PUSH|REDIR_SAVEFD2);

Interestingly, adding more TRACE() calls makes the problem go
away. \o/ Classic Heisenbug behaviour.

We don't need no education.
We don't need no thought control.
