Sounds like a bullshit patent. I remember having loaded a lot of NLM
patches under netware 4.0 in 96-97 without ever rebooting. I think
that the patches only redefined the faulty symbol(s) they wanted to
patch. That was pretty convenient because when in doubt, you could
simply unload the modules and get back to previous situation.
