Nope, didn't appear to work. Here is the output from the process:

The other thing, when applying the patch it keeps coming up with 
something about Reverse and then asks for response to Assume -R [n] - 
whatever that means. So I tried both ways and during one of them the 
above was created.

In any case, the conftest.sh file did have today's date and time so I 
ran the NVIDIA*.run anyway and got the usual failure to compile driver.
