I tried raising CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN, but it didn't change much. The malloc() code in question is from 2002, so I doubt it's a bug there. I tried rolling back from HEAD to v2020.10. Same problem.

Are you able to look at the content of the boot command, or at least the beginning
of it? Does it look reasonable and have the expected termination at the expected
place?

The backtrace that you reported involves:

                case '|':
                        done_word(dest, ctx);
                        if (next=='|') {
                                b_getch(input);
                                done_pipe(ctx,PIPE_OR);

but having piped commands (|) seems possibly odd for the
context. Garbage memory content may be more likely.
