I am using the Debian build of fsl-4.1.8, which I am given to believe is the
most recent stable release.
fsl4.1-applywarp
Part of FSL (build 416)
applywarp (Version 1.2)
fsl4.1-flirt -version
FLIRT version 5.5
I am not afraid to go playing in the source code, so if you happen to have a
reference to the FOV bug handy then please do share.
