Ah!  Deleting the .swfinfo seems to have fixed things.   Thanks very 
much to everyone.   I assume that file didn't exist on my fresh Ubuntu 
installation so it worked straight away.  Sorry for causing all the 
noise on the list for a problem that had already been fixed months ago.

I agree a new version of the script (tagged with a new number) would be 
very helpful.   It also looks like the change log isn't very up to 
date.  It makes diagnosing problems more difficult,  you think you've 
got the latest version but actually haven't.
