Oh, it's not a bug. Oracle told us 10 years ago that RBO was going away. When a feature goes away, it no longer requires either support or regression testing.

Which brings us back to the Lex de Haan's point about regression testing. He sad something to the effect
that we have no idea about the way that Oracle Corp. is testing its product when they allow such disastrous
bugs to slip through. I believe that Oracle is using faith-based testing algorithms. All we need is to have faith and bugs will be gone.
