Can you provide me with the output of "uname -spr"?
It's working fine for me on FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE i386.
Where you're bombing out is line 2403:
[ $retval -eq 0 ] || die "User cancelled."
Functionally, that is testing the return status of dialog(1) for the initial
menu. See if you can execute this (a rough approximation of the initial
menu):
dialog --clear --title foo --hline bar --menu abc 17 55 9 1 a 2 b 3 c 4 d 5
e X x 2> /tmp/dialog.menu.foo
A menu should appear. Select an item and then execute for me:
echo $?
If the above doesn't work, then I suspect that your dialog(1) is not working
properly. I'd then go and try this as a sanity check:
cd /usr/share/examples/dialog
sh menubox
echo $?
The result in both cases (as long as you actually select a menu item) should
be "0".
Also... (just as a sanity check for me) your /bin/sh is not a symlink to
bash is it?
