Hi,

I've already reported this problem upstream in oct 2021.

 | https://github.com/landley/toybox/issues/301

What do you think about aplying the suggested patch on the test?
It makes the test superficial on tmpfs-like filesystem \o/

 | if [ "$(stat --format %b . 2>/dev/null)" != "0" ]; then
 |   echo "$SHOWSKIP: du (tmpfs-like filesystem)"
 |   return 2>/dev/null
 |   exit
 | fi


I think it's the best we can do for trixie.

Thanks for your time Paul!
