Linux: abort on start (flash of black screen, then exit)

[Faux]

The game crashes during start-up: the game window flashes up, then immediately vanishes.  It is recieving an abort / SIGABRT.

I'm running Ubuntu Wily (15.10 pre-release).  I believe the game worked before upgrading.  Trying version 914, but 834 (the version I was playing before) does the same thing.

Searching for the Mono error, "basic_string::_S_construct null not valid", suggests that it's trying to open a non-existing file, but I can't work out what file that might be.

Got a SIGABRT while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries
used by your application.

This has been fixed by further updates.  Who knows what's going on.  PRE-RELEASE.  PRE-RELEASE.
