Sorry, should've been ./barebox --env=barebox.env

I can reproduce it with upstream/next (91a23b64445b8861acbfd96fcc03082b343b0211)
and sandbox_defconfig (+CONFIG_RESET). saveenv; reset results in a segmentation fault.
CONFIG_KASAN=y
CONFIG_MALLOC_LIBC=y
gives the better debugging output.

Cheers,
Ahmad
