I would also like to know where I can find the patch, as I have
experienced the same
problem with all the 5.x.x I have tried. Strange though, the 4.0.0 works
fine...

Hardware: P-100, Intel Endeavour motherboeard, 48 MB RAM, Adaptec
2940UW,
          2x Quantum TB Fast-SCSI HD's, NEC 4x Fast-SCSI CDROM, 
          TANDBERG MLR1 Fast & Wide SCSI
