Find the line ~322
foreach ($page->settings['blocks'] as $key => $block) {

replace:

    if (!isset($info[$block['module']])) {
      $info[$block['module']] = module_invoke($block['module'], 'block', 'list');
    }
    $allowed_blocks[$block['module']][$block['delta']] = $info[$block['module']][$block['delta']];
    if (!empty($block['title'])) {
      $allowed_blocks[$block['module']][$block['delta']]['info'] = $block['title'];
    }

with:

    // Check the block's roles against the user's roles
    $blockRoles = array();
    $result = db_query("SELECT rid FROM {blocks_roles} WHERE module='%s' AND delta='%s'", $block['module'], $block['delta']);
    while ($result && ($row = db_fetch_object($result))) {
       $blockRoles[$row->rid] = $row->rid;
    }
    // If the block has no roles or the user has a matching role show the block
    if(empty($blockRoles) || 0 < count(array_intersect_key($user->roles,$blockRoles))){
        if (!isset($info[$block['module']])) {
          $info[$block['module']] = module_invoke($block['module'], 'block', 'list');
        }
        $allowed_blocks[$block['module']][$block['delta']] = $info[$block['module']][$block['delta']];
        if (!empty($block['title'])) {
          $allowed_blocks[$block['module']][$block['delta']]['info'] = $block['title'];
        }
     }
  }
