Yes. In fact the exact same patch works on 2.0.33. Would you please
try this patch out:
<ftp://ftp.shout.net/pub/users/mec/ftp-experimental/lukyanov.diff>
To apply this patch, change the current directory to scripts/lxdialog
first and then patch.
Alexander Lukyanov wrote this patch, and It Works For Me (TM). If it
works for you, then I will submit to to Alan Cox and ask him to include
it in 2.0.34.

I think I know what this is. It sounds like a bug in define_bool that
I already fixed in 2.1.XX. I'll backport my patch and publish it shortly.
