When running Oracle8i release 3 (8.1.7.2.x):

---

   The 8.1.7.3 patch-set will not be released on all platforms. If this    patch-set is not available for your platform, you can download and install

   a separate fix for the [BUG:1874468] (size: 10 kb):

1. Create an iTAR and specify: (1) the conditions which indicate that the export failed because of the same problem as specified in [BUG:1874468] (2) that you need the password to download the fix for [BUG:1874468]
2. Once you have the password: log in to MetaLink and in the menu, click on the button "Patches".
3. On the "Patch Download" screen, enter the "Patch Number": 1874468 and leave all other fields with the default values, and click on the "Submit" button.
4. Enter the password you received from Oracle Support and click on the "Download" button (see note below).
5. Choose the appropriate patch for your Operating System.
6. Install the patch by following the instructions in the readme.txt file. [...]
