One more thing, it's always confusing to follow the patch read me file...
Hope, Oracle support guys will make more effort in writing a complete guide
... For example, there is no entry to this solution in the read me file,
also, the patch readme file only talks about RAC patching and I believe this
patch is also used for single instance patching...
how many oracle customers have their systems running in single instances? I
don't believe there are more RAC customers than Single instances systems
customers.

cheers,
