>Description:
The man page for dialog(1) does not mention the radiolist option. This is however shown if dialog is run without arguments. It also works as expected.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run man 1 dialog and search for radiolist
Run dialog without arguments and see that radiolist appears as an option.
>Fix:
Apply the supplied patch. The GNU page for dialog also has a description for radiolist that may be used instead of mine (somewhat different).
