Anyone know of a work-around (in lieu of the suggested option given in the last para.?
Yes, read https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1028016/b/t/post/5228999/ Thank you, Christophe. Will apply the patch later today.

OK, I give up! :-)
Here is the patch mentioned in the URL above (I named the patch as Testing.txt):
diff -durN nvidia-384-orig/nvidia-uvm/uvm8_va_block.c nvidia-384/nvidia-uvm/uvm8_va_block.c --- nvidia-384-orig/nvidia-uvm/uvm8_va_block.c 2017-12-26 11:20:17.097715622 +0100 +++ nvidia-384/nvidia-uvm/uvm8_va_block.c 2017-12-26
The above "---" and "---" lines show patch where to find the file to patch, it seems your working directory is /data/Nvidia-384.98 so if you delete the "nvidia-384-orig/" and "nvidia-384/" parts from the: "--- nvidia-384-orig/nvidia-uvm/uvm8_va_block.c" and "+++ nvidia-384/nvidia-uvm/uvm8_va_block.c" parts in patch then it should apply, with a bit of luck.

I apply it and get the following result:

If you could have specified patch -p1 the patch would have applied but it's nvidia's script which is running patch so hopefully the advice I gave above will work.

Now, I have only applied 3 or 4 patches in my life so I know bugger all about patches and how to apply them. The cli command above is what I found after searching around using a search engine. Obviously the wrong command :-(, but I know not any better.
Could someone please "tell" me how to correctly apply the patch mentioned in Christophe's post?
(Yesterday the latest version of the kernel -- 4.1.10-1.1 -- was installed but this did not have the "fix" necessary to handle the Nvidia driver 384.98.)
