>Description:
The new dialog.h on line 47 undefines the ERR macro with a comment of "header conflict with Solaris xpg4" this means that if n?curses.h is included before dialog.h, ERR becomes undefined and the various macros in curses.h (ie: getmaxy()) break.
Since our curses.h #undef's ERR itself, there is no need for this in FreeBSD, and since it requires specific #include ordering for no good reason, it should be removed.
>How-To-Repeat:
#include <curses.h>
#include <dialog.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
initscr();
fprintf(stderr, "%d\n", getmaxy(stdscr));
endwin();
return 0;
}
>Fix:
Remove line 47 of dialog.h for FreeBSD
