Hey Peter!
Fine hearing that it should work as expected.

About the memory capacity:
Mem: 8612K used, 118892K free, 0K shrd, 320K buff, 5168K cached
rootfs: 119.5M used, 56.0M free

I still expect something like that ext2-fs has some limitation or uClibc
has some buffer length to be adjusted. But if not, it sounds like my
buildroot needs some "make dirclean" and hopefully all the quirks
disappear. Any other ideas?

Not knowing the cause is somewhat uncomfortable. (I hate keeping fingers
crossed. Last time I dropped my coffee pot!)
