Public bug reported:

*** based on: https://github.com/RaiMan/SikuliX-2014/issues/253
---------------------

I think CommandLine.parse("xdotool version") should be
CommandLine.parse("xdotool -v") in the checkFeatureAvailability method
of LinuxUtil.java.

On Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04 xdotool version fails with a
segmentation fault.

It is a bug in xdotool that any unknown parameter that is passed causes
a segfault. See my tests below:

htplainf@ub-mguibot:~$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS \n \l
htplainf@ub-mguibot:~$ xdotool -v
xdotool version 3.20150503.1
htplainf@ub-mguibot:~$ xdotool version
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
htplainf@ub-mguibot:~$ xdotool any_unknown_param_causes_segfault
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
htplainf@ub-mguibot:~$
