For those of you concerned, when experimenting I set the parameter at the 
session level while tracking the problem, not the system level.  And I have 
enabled a baseline for plan stability at least until the bug is fixed.  There 
appear two be two bugs listed as possible culprits, 13454409 and 8608703, the 
former is most likely.  Unfortunately the listed patch is only for 11.2.0.3.8, 
and we are on 11.2.0.3.11, and I don't see it listed as fixed there.  So have 
to find out if the ....8 patch will work in ....11.  Not to mention verify that 
I have the right bug as there are several similar listed.
