That won't necessarily cure the problem.  In my case, I had been using an 
Iyonix for nearly a year without ever seeing pyjamas, but it suddenly 
occurred shortly after installing RO 5.11 (though now I don't think this 
was the reason), and the effect occurred on startup about 1 time in every 
5-6.

However, more recently the problem has become very infrequent, although I 
have not changed anything in the computer.  I got pyjamas once this week, 
but only after about 30 trouble-free startups.  So (especially for the OP, 
Peter Derwent), don't despair, with luck the effect may go away just as 
spontaneously as it appeared. :-)

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I'll leave it to others to explain why it happens - it's been explained 
previously, but I can't remember the details.
