Package: dialog Version: 1.1-20111018-1 Severity: important Today after upgrading 'dialog' I find an often used several year old script (that uses 'dialog') has broken.
Run the following line, then hit 'Enter', or mouse click
on either "OK" or "Cancel":
% dialog --inputbox "Edit subject line..." 6 75 "foo bar" ; echo $?
Segmentation fault
139
That also mucks up the terminal (Xfce Terminal Emulator), requiring a command
line 'reset'.
Attached is the output of:
% strace -o /tmp/dialog.strace dialog --inputbox "Edit subject line..." 6
75 "foo bar"
Hope this helps...
