[gpm] dialog shows gpm error message in Fedora Core 1 ?

[Steven Shiau]

Hi!
I am using dialog in Fedora Core 1, the gpm service is actually NOT
running. But when I run dialog, it just shows the error message in my
output like this:
---------------------------------------------
*** err [lib/liblow.c(267)]:
strncmp/isdigit/option.consolename
failed
*** err [lib/liblow.c(376)]:
Oh, oh, it's an error! possibly I die! 
3
---------------------------------------------
This actually has been reported to RedHat's bugzilla in last Nov, check this:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109468

Not only dialog, but also mc and aumix in Eterm have the same problem:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109574

The problem is, this bug is reported in last Nov, but it still exists
there now. I can NOT find any patch or newer version for the gpm in FC1.

So I am trying to get any help in this mailing list. How can fix the
problem ? The gpm version in FC1 is 1.20, for example,
ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/SRPMS/gpm-1.20.1-38.src.rpm

Thank you in advance.
