Cocktail Mode Fixed?

I have an older version of MAME running on my cocktail... I think it's around .113 or so....
I noticed last night while playing 2 players with some friends that some games (most Atari, some others) were screwed up for player 2... The screen image "started" about half way down with the top half showing at the bottom and the bottom half showing at the top.
This only happened for P2... not P1... and my cocktail is a vertically oriented cabinet...
Does anyone know if this bug has been squashed over the last year or so (since my last update)?
I did a quick search at mamedev and found nothing (too much).

Without specific per-game/driver observations it's impossible to tell. I know there is an issue with many namco/atari titles (galaga.c) as well as some sega games (system1.c). Search for driver name in the search box at http://www.mametesters.org to get a better idea, if you could. Anything not listed there I'd be interested in hearing about.

That looks like the problem. That said, the same problem applies to many more games than just ATARI/NAMCO titles. I went through my 190 or so cocktail games this last weekend at at least a dozen to 15 or so experienced this issue including non NAMCO releases... all the very same effect as shown on the page above.
I just checked and it seems I have version .137... later than I thought frankly. It seems this happened after .131... maybe I'll try to regress.

If you can come up with specific games and/or drivers affected, I'll be happy to research and make sure it's noted in the database. It would be best to confirm with 0.142 if possible, as there have been some improvements and fixes for cocktail since 0.137.
