 There's a *lot* more that needs to be done to that page. Most of the
 function prototypes listed are wrong, and so are the descriptions;
 some of the functions listed in the synopsis don't even exist. Apart
 from a few typo fixes, the page hasn't changed for a year and a half.
 
 Could you perhaps be persuaded to bring it up to date and submit a
 patch? :)

There's been a new version of dialog important in to the tree. 
Does the new manual page fix the problem?

 Pass.  Does the new version of libdialog that's been imported since the
 PR fix the problem?
 
 It's not what I'd call a critical PR, so we can probably take lack of 
 feedback as "yes, it's fine" (or, alternatively, "it might be fine, but
 we don't care").
 
 I'd be slightly happier if someone actually stood up and said the problem
 has gone away though.

 Agreed.  I'll hold off on closing it in hopes Stefan lets us know one
 way or the other.  Stefan?

 *stands up*
 "It's still there."
 "Fix at 21:00 my local time."

 No need for Stefan to be contacted. I just verified, it's still bogus.
 I'll fix it tonight, unless chris beats me to it =).
