It affects me too. 
I resolved removing the script inside the file /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/256.53/source/patches/nvidia-2.6.36-ioctl.patch (leaving the empty patch inside the folder) then I replaced line 426 of /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/256.53/source/nv.c with  ".unlocked_ioctl = nv_kern_unlocked_ioctl," and at the end  I reinstalled linux kernel headers --> rebuild nvidia-current kernel module.
