[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #2480] /usr/bin/dialog buffer size too small

["G. Isenmann via Redmine" <bugtracker-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Issue #2480 has been updated by G. Isenmann.


Hmm wonder, why I haven't seen this on FreeBSD-9.1?

Looks like there are two different versions:
/usr/src/gnu/lib/libodialog/dialog.h:#define MAX_LEN 4096
/usr/src/contrib/dialog/dialog.h:#define MAX_LEN 2048

The output of "/usr/bin/dialog --help" starts with:
cdialog (ComeOn Dialog!) version 1.1-20100428
Copyright 2000-2008,2011 Thomas E. Dickey

That seems to be the version from contrib, and AFAIKS this
versions has no problem with 3.7k output.

Bug #2480: /usr/bin/dialog buffer size too small

Target version: 


Running "make config" in /usr/dports/print/ghostscript9 crashes the dialog program.

Increasing the MAX_LEN value in /usr/src/gnu/lib/libdialog/dialog.h:78 from 2k to 20k "fixes" this issue.

The output size (using the default options in the above example) is about 3.7k.
