scratch that, mkswap from svn works fine in contrast to the old, stale
version i had lying around.

What version are you using, what compiler, libc, arch?

Make sure to run mkswap before trying to swapon.

$ ./busybox dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 seek=500000 count=1 of=swapfile01
$ ./busybox mkswap swapfile01                                Setting up
swapspace version 1, size = 495906 bytes
# ./busybox swapon ./swapfile01
# ./busybox swapoff ./swapfile01

thanks,
Bernhard
