    After rebooting hosts (Solaris 9) that previously run Gnome 2 without
    problems I can't start it again. It starts on hosts that had not been
    rebooted yet.
    Also, some another application won't start now, so I assume it is
    because of the same cause.
    Here are some more information from developer who can't start his
    application:

    > I can start it from some non-nfs mounted dir such as /tmp.

    May some latest patches applied to file server (Solaris 8) affect NFS
    such a way? Do I need to patch all my Solaris 9 hosts because, say, Sun
    decided to correct some locking issues in NFS implementation?
