No, you haven't missed it -- I just emailed it to a couple people on
this thread who wanted to see if it helped (and it did for at least
one). It's a 300KB gzipped file that you drop into /usr/lib. Email
me directly and I'll send it to you if you want (with all the caveats
about trust that go along with dropping in a binary file some random
person sends you :-)
If you compile yourself, the patch is available in the ticket I filed:
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6406.
