This unfortunately isn't much use, but it does indicate it's nothing to
do with your drivers. What gives me hope is that this reminds me of a
similar bug that we fixed some time ago. One last thing to try, just in
case is:

sudo apt-get upgrade

Which (if you haven't done it already) will make sure everything is up
to date automatically.

One way I can tell for sure if you are running the up to date version of
fluxus 0.17 (there was a slightly older one distributed with puredyne)
is if you type:

(help "hint")

At the fluxus console you should get a list of functions preceded by:

"Function not found, did you mean one of these?"

If you just get a list without this message then it's still running the
older version.

This is a known problem with puredyne - I get it occasionally too.
