[Freesurfer] reg-feat2anat error in Ubuntu 12.04 and a workaround

I have recently upgraded my Ubuntu system from 11.10 to 12.04.

Before the upgrade I had no problem at all! After the upgrade the "reg-feat2anat" stopped working: it gave an error when converting the subject/mri/brainmask.mgz to featdir.feat/reg/freesurfer/tmp/refvol.fslregister.nii.

However, when I do the conversion manually before the "reg-feat2anat", it works without further error.

Is there any explanation for this behavior?
