+ Thomas Dickey (vendor author thereof) reports that dialog(1) since
+ 2011/10/18 has a bug in handling --hline. Testers and I noticed the
+ --hline is not ignored but displayed as a NULL string, regardless of
+ value. This will cause confusion in some bsdconfig dialogs where the
+ --hline is used to inform users which keybindings to use. This will
+ likewise affect any other persons relying on --hline. It also looks
+ rather strange seeing "[]" at the bottom of dialog(1) widgets when
+ passing --hline "anything". Thomas said he will have a look in a few
+ weeks. NOTE: The "[]" brackets appear with the left-edge where it
+ would normally appear given the width of text to display, but the
+ displayed text is not there (part of the bug).
