I don't know about the release for HP-UX, but the release for NT is just chock full of bugs. Database-level auditing generates numerous ORA-600's and memory dumps on any other user error. Creating local partitioned indexes generates ORA-600's if you don't have your sort_area_retained_size either set to 0 or set the same as the sort_area_size. There are packages in CATREP.SQL that won't compile after a migration using MIG80. Plan on spending a lot of time on the phone with Oracle Support.

Good luck,
Dave
