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

[Matt Emmerton via Redmine]

Issue #2480 has been updated by Matt Emmerton.


As far as I can tell, this should cause similar problems on FreeBSD whose dialog also has MAX_LEN 2048.

Suggest two changes:
- work with upstream maintainer to increase MAX_LEN (4k is sufficient, but a higher limit may be useful)
- merge up to FreeBSD r224014 which is upstream 1.1-20110707

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

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.
