185.18.36 Linux x86/x86-64 released
Release highlights:

    * Fixed a bug that caused kernel panics when starting X on some mobile GPUs.
    * Fixed an interaction problem between VDPAU and PowerMizer when using VDPAU solely as a display mechanism, and not to decode 
video streams. The GPU performance level should now be raised, if required, in this scenario.
    * Fixed VDPAU to avoid "display preemption" in some cases where a VdpOutputSurface is deleted while it is still active (either 
queued or visible) in a VdpPresentationQueue. In particular, this can occur in MPlayer when using the "-fs" option, and could 
completely prevent VDPAU from operating successfully, depending on the exact timing conditions.

Here's hoping.....
