I feel it's strange, because GNU coreutils false binary gives return status 1, even when invoked with '--help' switch. I also notice that Ubuntu busybox false, which is version 1.21.1 performs the same behaviour as GNU coreutils.

i cannot see a bug here on OpenWrt:

root at box:~ busybox false --help
BusyBox v1.22.1 (2014-08-28 18:55:30 EDT) multi-call binary.

Usage: false 

Return an exit code of FALSE (1)

root at box:~ echo $?
0
root at box:~ false --help
root at box:~ echo $?
1
root at box:~ false bla
root at box:~ echo $?
1

bye, bastian
