Luca Ceresoli 61ed56090c busybox: fix double free in top causing a SIGABRT storm after SIGPIPE
On some platforms the command 'top -n1 | head' goes very often into an
infinite loop of SIGABRT and double free()s.

Fix by applying a patch from upstream Busybox.

For a detailed explanation of the bug, see

Thanks to Yann for the help in finding this bug.
