     By definition CentOS will reproduce bug-for-bug all the packages 
from RHEL. So there will not exist an updated nfs-utils package in the 
[base] or [updates] repos unless RH publishes a fixed package. Assuming 
that RH is not aware of the issue, you can speed things up by filing a 
new bug in bugzilla.r.c against nfs-utils from RH ( you could even clone 
bug 829362).
     OTOH a fixed package might appear in one of the other repositories. 
Johnny Hughes has a tradition of offering interim fixes via his private 
repo.
