The bug is still present in Ubuntu 12.04.

This mainly due to lack of time/priority/thought from my part.

There has not been a release of FluidSynth lately, so there is no 
upstream release that could have flown the "natural" way through Debian 
to Ubuntu.

And, nobody has tried to backport the actual commit (as a bug fix) to 
Debian or Ubuntu.

For Ubuntu 12.04, this fix should be SRUable, if somebody just sits down 
and does the paperwork: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

I guess we could also release a version 1.1.6 of FluidSynth with the 
current tree in it, if we like.
