I think this is related to the portmap hang on boot. Older kernels used to
even crash when glibc 2.1.9x portmap was started, then DaveM fixed a bug in
the kernel and said something needs to be fixed in userland as well, but I
did not get to it yet and cannot find the mail right now (vger is not
accessible now and DaveM is until monday? on holidays).
So I guess 2.1.95 can be released with this known issue and I'll work with
DaveM on fixing sunrpc/udp on SPARC soon afterwards.
