      The 95.6 version does have some ubuntu fixes (for 9.10) but not for the   
   issue I was aware of.  I checked the archive I have for 95.10 but that   
   also does not have the fix for it. I did do a build of 95.6 on   
   ubuntu, but I don't recall which version of Ubuntu it was at when I did   
   that, and that install (on a vserver) has been upgraded since though only   
   up to v10.4.  It is a build time issue, though, and it does seem to run   
   there...   
      
      The possibly specific thing I found for ubuntu is an issue with the   
   open call in mbfido/flock.c;  it's at line 43 of that version of the file.   
   Ubuntu changed their defaults for compileing and in the type of open call   
   being used there, requires three arguments rather than the two that's   
   there.  (It appears to be the same in 95.6 & 95.10 as well;  i.e., not   
   changed from 92.0 ...)   
      
      I've added a fix for that to 0.92.0 as a patch in the Debian package;    
   currently using dpatch but I plan to change to using quilt.  How I dealt   
   with it is currently visible in debian/patches/10_fix-flock-error.dpatch   
   in the debian branch at http://git.rocasa.org/gitweb.cgi/mbsedeb.git.
