According to InfoWorld a partial patch is in the January 2010 CPU. The magazine has issued an update which includes mention of another potential means of the issue being raised. The actual bug related to manual hot backups is apparently limited to two releases per the article, which also contains a link to an article on what and how Oracle uses the SCN number.
