I thought this list was for SECURITY issues

Marco did indeed describe a security relevant regression. Actuallly it is a netowrk exploitable(*) denial of service attack issue.

When accessing a large amount of files over an nfs export from a machine with SuSE 10.1 and kernel 2.6.16.21-0.13, stale NFS handles occur.
