The Solaris 10 Update 8 has the fix for 6792701 included. This is part of kernel patches 141444-09 (sparc), 141445-09 (x86). For OpenSolaris build 118 or later contains the fix so in the development builds.
This avoids future problems with the CR but if your currently effected by the problem the fix doesn't clear the troubles. I believe a backup of the data, then destroy of the file system, then recreating it and restoring is method to clear the space. With the later kernel the problem is avoided in the future.
