Definite negative on that. We installed
6.5.2a when we upgraded. In addition to NBPEM issues, NBPROXY constantly
coredumps.

Solaris - BEWARE!!!
All,
If you are running a Solaris NBU master server and are
planning on upgrading to 6.5.2, think twice. We just upgraded and now
backups simply do not work. Backups either do not start AT ALL when
scheduled or manually started backups error out with code 230.
Per the technote at
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/305609.htm
Issue:-
Upgrading NetBackup to 6.5.2 can cause scheduled or manually initiated
backups to fail with STATUS 230. The policies are failing to update/convert the
backup selection list from a UTF-8 to a local locale.
All the policies are available in the NetBackup class/policy database.
Existing policies can be updated and new policies can be created,
however, they experience the same problem when started. The only backups
that can be run successfully are User Backups.
This problem has now been
on systems running Solaris 8, Solaris 9 and Solaris 10.
Evidence:-

Solutions:-
Option 1: Install
NetBackup 6.5.3, search patch readme for reference 1317013.
or
Option 2: Uninstall
NetBackup 6.5.2. NetBackup 6.5.1 or 6.5GA do not experience this problem.
or
Option 3: Contact
Symantec support to request an emergency engineering binary fix for NetBackup
6.5.2, if NetBackup 6.5.3 is not yet available (NetBackup 6.5.3 is scheduled
for August/September 2008).
We have been on the phone
with Symantec to obtain this “binary fix” since 6.5.3 isn’t
out yet, and evidently this is phantomware as they are saying it is not yet
available.
