0. include the relevant operating system info.

1. thoroughly test your backup/restore/recovery configuration.
2. roll up your sleeves and test the 8.1.7.4.16 patchset (win32) (after applying 8.1.7.4.1) in your test environment.
3. apply to production during a scheduled maintenance window.
4. seriously consider moving to 9.2.0.5 (with the patches issued for alert #68 applied) soon.
