Hi Terry, in case this is still useful to you, the patch is now available : patch #4199559 Regards Selon Terry Sutton <terrysutton@xxxxxxx>: I encountered this at a client site. They did some testing and it didn't seem to hurt performance. I asked when a patch would be available (since these seems like a pretty stupid thing to have left out of a patchset), and they replied: "Regarding the patch availability,we will notify you through mail.Patch will be available soon as there are several who had the same issue after applying the 9.2.0.7.0 patchset." That was 2 weeks ago. We'll see. --Terry > How bad of a hit is this to linux based performance? > Anybody measured? > > Note:4648194.8 > > Description > > The 9.2.0.7 Patch Set for Linux 32bit is missing some > port specific fixes.
