dialog failed in FC1 ?

[Steven Shiau]

Hi!
As the bug #109468 in
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109468
I also encountered the same problem, does any one know how to fix it ?

Description of problem:

Using:
dialog-0.9b-20031002.1
and:
gpm-1.20.1-38

When using a dialog box with the --menu option, when user selects on 
an option, a bizarre failure from what appears to be the gpm library 
occurs.

Very simple example of problem:
#!/bin/sh

dialog --backtitle "test" --nocancel --title "test"  --menu "test" 19 
10 3 \
1 "blah 1" \
2 "blah 2" \
3 "blah 3" \
2>/tmp/test.out

A cat of the resulting /tmp/test.out
shows:

# more /tmp/test.out 
*** err [lib/liblow.c(267)]:
strncmp/isdigit/option.consolename
failed
*** err [lib/liblow.c(376)]:
Oh, oh, it's an error! possibly I die! 
3

Notice that it *does* get the correct
value at the very bottom,
but the text above causes problem when
parsing the result.

A google scan shows that liblow.c
belongs to gpm.
