Lugaru on latest Ubuntu

Hi all. I've been playing Lugaru on Linux for a while now but I recently upgraded to the beta of Ubuntu 8.10 (due for final release at the end of the month). It's a great improvement overall, but it breaks Lugaru.
When you run it, the menu screen loads up, the music starts and you can move the cursor, all as-expected. As soon as you dare to click, it dies.
I've tried running it from a terminal to see if I could offer you any SDL output, but this is all that happens:
I've tried a few older releases to see where the break actually came in but I couldn't find one that worked at all. If I had to point a finger it would either be at the 2.6.27 kernel or the upgraded X server.
I'd be happy to help try and debug this (because it might mean I get to play it again) but I'll need instructions on how to get better debugging info back from SDL.

Lugaru works in Wine, by the way. Or at least it did the last time I tried.
The serial is the same for both Linux and Windows versions, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Debugging SDL segfaults is kind of pointless if the game won't be fixed accordingly anyway. I think you should establish that first.
icculus handles the Linux build as far as I know.
Edit: Oh, you already found their Bugzilla.

It does work in Wine. That's the only way I've managed to keep my sanity in these dark days.
I really hope this is a bug in the system (that can be chased out) rather than in the game that might not see another release. The icculus bugzilla doesn't seem terribly active.

./lugaru-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Because you don't have libstdc++ installed? Search for it in Synaptic. I have v5, v6, v6-4.2 and v6-4.3 installed.

Is there any chance of a fix or workaround? I tried Wine, but it locks up when I try to start campaign mode. In my case (the native version) also mentions
Xlib: extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".
before the segmentation fault as described above. The Icculus page seems to have vanished.
Edit: latest beta of Wine works.
Edit2: until after the raider camp.
