David,
In Bering-uClibc it's fixed in the following way:
# only keep a week's depth of these oldlogs=`find /var/log/ntpstats -type f -mtime +7` [ "$oldlogs" != "" ] && rm $oldlogs
As you can see Bering-uClibc uses a newer version of busybox.
Another way I like to do this is with ls and sed:
SAVELOGS=7 oldlogs=`ls -1t <log.file.pattern> | sed 1-${SAVELOGS}d` [ "$oldlogs" != "" ] && rm $oldlogs
