I know, that's why I said I don't mind testing other patches.

I only applied the 2nd version of the 2nd patch, no other patches.
The horizontal garbage stripes are gone for sure. It's a lot easier
to prove that something doesn't work than to prove it does, but I'll
keep running it for a while and see if I can spot any other badness.
If it's hard to trigger it's also very hard to find out what causes it.
Without your 2nd patch I always get the garbage on certain webpages,
so I'm quite confident that the original source is located for this
particular problem.

Greetings,

Indan
