Once you guys mentioned it we found a description on Metalink at =
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_gui.startup. Its not =
mentioned in the patch instructions and we've never had a problem with =
it on any server that I have patched in the last 20 months. "Live and =
Learn." I won't get bit by that one again. Thanks everyone for your =
help!
