RE: 8.1.6.3.1. patch causing problems?

FYI Oracle Support just called me back, apparently I was using the "old" version of the 8.1.6.3.1. patch, they retired it and re-introduced a "new" 8.1.6.3.1. patch in February.

Since then they produced patches 8.1.6.3.2, 8.1.6.3.3, and 8.1.6.3.4. All since February.

They asked me why I wasn't considering implementing 8.1.7... I told them I would rather play it safe, once 8.1.7 has been out for a while, maybe.
