Same to me. But I tried to investigate and found lxdialog, which is compiled
first, gives segmentation fault whenever run with <display_any_dialog>
option. When run with no options displays all available options and ends OK.

This happens on Slackware 2.3, gcc 2.6.3. kernel 1.3.92
When I tried this on another machine running slackware 3.0 gcc 2.7.0 ELF
same kernel - everything is OK.
lxdialog compiled on the first machine is about 145KB as opposed to about
90KB on the second machine.
I replaced 'bad' lxdialog with the 'good' one and almost everything went OK.
Output was only a little messed due to incompatible library I suppose.

Hopes this helps.

Emil
