Fatal Exception error

I have an application that has to work in a merge replicated environment. To facilitate this we use @.@.Servername to put the name of the server that the data is changed onto the table. I have an issue now with this problem
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;270061&
and am wondering when it will be resolved if there is a better workaround; or a solution besides dropping the server and reinstalling it ?
Thanks
ChrisHi Chris:
According the KB article you provide, there is no need for reinstall,
what we should do is follow the workaround.
Is there a misunderstanding by me?
Best Wishes

From the knowledge base article

There is a workaround to avoid it by:
exec sp_addserver 'WindowsNT_Machine_Name', 'local'
