I fully support and endorse your rant. This problem with 9.2.x RAC was identified back in 9.2.0.1.0 Beta and reported then to the RAC Pack and support. There is no excuse for this not being dealt with by 9.2.0.4 much less continuing to this day.

Oracle need to learn to test installs by first reinstalling the operating system. This bug appears to have been created by repeatedly installing builds on machines without first recreating the initial environment. And it is totally inexcusable. </RANT>
