We have it set on our 10.2.0.2 set up but we do not remember if we set it due to a requirement in the documentation or because we had it set previously in our environment due to issues with the listener and later pro*c (if my memory is correct) that setting the parameter fixed.

The answer may vary by platform, Oracle version, and the tool set in use but I suggest you check your documentation for each product for reference to the parameter and set it as suggested if you find it listed.

I am sure I have seen a couple of problem reports on the Oracle support site that reference the use of the parameter but naturally I cannot remember what they were when the information might be of use. Maybe someone else will have this on the top of their head.
