Umm.. if you actually *read* the mentioned thread, you'll see that "existing patches" are known to be incomplete, complete with the "upchucks in the binary" (mentioned at entry number 9 of the thread), and that Zander already knows about it (entry #11), and has apparently one remaining issue left to resolve (entries #32 and #36). And entry #36 is what the NVidia engineer doing the work was thinking about 20 hours ago. Interpret it as you will...
