If
rpmquery  -i nfs-utils  | grep "Build Date"
returns
Release     : 15.el6            Build Date: Wed 14 Dec 2011 15:17:13 GMT
do I have the new/good version or the old one ?

If that doesn't distinguish the bad package and you can't
push a rebuild with a different release number (I'd have thought
that in this case replacing el6 with sl6... would have been justified)
can you give us another way of distinguishing the two versions
rather than just telling us to downgrade and reupgrade.

Thanks,
