I've just checked, and the nx-2.1.0-22.fc7.src.rpm does contain your February 
64 bit patch. I tried to build a new rpm from it, but it bombs trying to copy 
the nxdesktop man page on top of itself. I commented the bits of the spec 
file related to this, and it then built an x86_64 rpm. After I installed this 
it stopped working from anywhere! Reinstall the original binary and I'm back 
where I started. So much for being able to build from source RPMs!

It may be easier than tracking down this obscure problem in 2.1.0. It only 
seems to affect 64 bit servers so far, but has happened with both 32 bit and 
64 bit client OSs now. The same client binaries work fine on some systems and 
cause server failures on others.
