In my experience, the fix for this particular problem is to recompile
the lxdialog utility used by menuconfig - something like the following
command sequence, but I'm sure Michael will correct me...

Q> cd scripts/lxdialog
Q> rm -f *.o
Q> make all
Q> cd ../..
Q> make menuconfig

Best wishes from Riley.
