There are no workarounds that I know of. Apparently the problem can be 
fixed, but it would change the pattern. It would still look like bozo or 
spotted(minus the big flat areas), but scenes rendered with the new 
version would appear slightly different.
This doesn't matter for the vast majority of scenes(only for those where 
a specific portion of the pattern was focused on), and I think the 
benefits outweigh this slight incompatibility. But I don't know how to 
fix it, I just know that there is a fix.
