After .98 Release, this defect was no longer valid in Unbuntu i386 10.10, but I 
am still experiencing in Ubuntu 64 bit version with latest .98 release.

All you have to do is just start Raptor and click Show my Previous games.. All 
previously played games are erased...

Additional Info: Used Linux Deb package to install Raptor

Raptor stores the games in the ~/.raptor/games/raptorGames.pgn folder by 
default. Since it uses ~ if you login with a different linux user, you will 
only see the games played as that user. Also if the ~/.raptor folder is deleted 
it will be cleared every time. Do you think one of the above could be the 
reason?

No. Both reasons didnt apply
1) Always using one user to login 2) Didn't delete ~/.raptor

One more additional case
1) Logged onto fics
2) Played few games
3) Closed raptor
4) Opened the pgn file through text editor. The played games was there
5) Started raptor
6) Opened the pgn file using text editor. The games was not there

So the games are erased when raptor starts and not when I clicked "Show my 
previous games"

Found a work-around
Changed the default save file to a different file at different location and now 
everything is fine
