NFS Bug in 2.4.3?

There is an NFS bug described here

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30944

that seems to have been known about for a while that is not fixed in 2.4.3. Is there something wrong with the patch that is discussed?

Thanks,

tjb

It works fine for me.

Note, however, the patch should be patched in order to work on the 2.4.2 kernel distributed with rh71.

(patch to a patch; hm...).
