Well, a description of "problem with NFS" tells me nothing. It could
be security. It could be a dropped packet from time ot time. It could
be a fix in NFS ver 2 protocol. Who knows? I sure don't.

Agree. I don't like mystery magic patches on production servers that
generate revenue for the company and I have a few sites that live and
breath on Solaris 10 and Sun Fire cabinets. Would I apply this patch?

In short, no.
