You only need to install the latest (v1.34)
patch; it contains all the previous fixes.
If you wait long enough for any food/potion/spell effects to wear off and remove all equipment with stat bonuses (or make sure to take them into account), then the sum of
strength + agility + intelligence + constitution + any unassigned stat points
should be equal to
40 + 5*(Character Level) [color:"#304154"]+ (+5 or -5 bonus from Shrine of Good and Evil) + (+5 or +10 stat bonus from Wishing Well, if that was the wish you made) - (1 to 4 stolen by vampire in the dark cave if you saved the boy) + (+20 from the agility bonus of Finnigan's magic lockpick, if it is in your inventory)[/color]
There are other stat modifiers (highlight the spoiler text above to read), though none you should have run into at level 5.
