Bug Description

I'm using the Ubuntu 12.04 alternate installation cd and the shell from "Execute a shell" doesn't write correctly to stdout if the cursor offset is 5 bytes to the left from the end of the string. Steps to reproduce:

1. Select "English"
2. Press F4 and choose "Install a commandline-system"
3. Press F6 and choose "Expert mode"
4. Choose "Install Ubuntu"
5. Choose "Execute a shell"
6. Type in the shell "echo 0" and press enter
7. Press the upper arrow to repeat the last command
8. Press the left arrow 5 times
9. Type "0"
10. Bug: The cursor jumped now to the end of the command
11. Type "0"
12. Bug: The shell appended "0cho 0" instead of "0"

affects: dash (Ubuntu) → busybox (Ubuntu)
