Just to follow up, I wanted to point out that the 
patch README does attempt to explain the meaning 
of the "workaround" text, in the introduction of 
the "problems fixed" section:


  VI. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEMS FIXED
  =================================
  The following are descriptions of the problems fixed.
  Please read the entire document before installing.

  README Conventions:

  Description
    Describes a particular problem contained in this pack.

  ** Description **  
    Describes a problem that can lead to potential data loss. Please 
    read these problem descriptions carefully.

  Workaround
    Any available workarounds to a problem are also listed. Workarounds can be
    used INSTEAD of applying the patch, however, Symantec strongly recommends


BOTTOM LINE:  if you install the patch, you shouldn't have to 
worry about the workaround.
