Microsoft have re-released the SharePoint 2010 October Cumulative Updates after fixing the issues I discussesd in my previous post (http://imperfectit.blogspot.com/2010/11/dont-install-sharepoint-2010-october.html).
You can get the updated bits here:

Cross your fingers and deploy! If you have problems, we'd love to hear about them.
