Package: dialog

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
I think this is fixed in 20111020
Yes, I've checked and the segfault no longer happens, so I've closed
this bug in the 20111020 upload I've just made.
(However, I have not looked at the code, so I don't know why it
segfaulted, and I don't know why it no longer does. I leave this to
you :-)
I didn't dig down, but from the scenario it's probably the case where
dialog's freeing sub-windows. One of those where it seemed to work for
the 3-4 days after I made the change...
(It was easy to spot with valgrind though).
