Ok, after doing some more research here is the problem:

1) dvd::rip defaults to the fix NPTL... which _breaks_ NPTL... so that seems
incorrect behavior to me...

2) dvd::rip writes a ~/.dvdriprc file of the user settings, which can override the defaults... so if you have had a version of dvd::rip _prior_ to 0.97.3 installed before, _your_ settings will start as "fix NPTL" on, which breaks NPTL...

3) dvd::rip also caches the tool dependencies... so that once you upgrade to

=0.97.3, and you actually _can_ turn off the "fix NPTL" setting, you can't make

dvd::rip _re_ check the dependancies... you have to manually remove the
"~/.dvdrip/tool_version_cache" file. Upstream needs to fix _this_ caching
problem, now that the "fix NPTL" caching problem is solved... ;]

I hope this explains the situation better... technically, the patch doesn't
_need_ to be appplied... the steps to get a working dvd::rip w/o the patch
should be as follows: (this is what i did)

1) install >=dvd-rip-0.97.3, and in the preferences turn _off_ "Workaround
transcode NPTL bugs" setting.
2) remove ~/.dvdrip/tool_version_cache

You should be able to restart dvd::rip and have it detect the correct versions
of the tools.

Mind, i'm not garunteeing that dvdrip then runs correctly, but i'm currently
trying to test it w/ transcode-1.0, which has its own host of troubles, and
belongs on another bug.. ;] but it should detect the program versions correctly
after doing this.
