This patch corrects a problem with UnixWare 1.0 where statd is opening the
file/etc/smworking each time it tries to contact the remote statd and it 
is not closing the file. It results in opening the files which are more
than those allowed per process and causing EMFILE errors. This PTF is also
included in update 1.1.1 for UnixWare 1.1. If you have the update 1.1.1 
you do not need this patch.
