The version of busybox currently in experimental verifies
all the strings returned by dhcpd and if any bad char is
found, it replaces the whole thing with literal string
"bad" when exporting the variable to the script. So
there should be no need to quote anything anymore.
I haven't closed this bug becaue I merely forgot about it,
and because I also wanted to recheck all open bugs when
finally uploading busybox 1.20 to unstable. My current
changelog contains mentions of closing of this bug, too.
Thank you for the reminder, this means these serious issues
weren't forgotten! And indeed they weren't!.. :)
