As a general rule, one off patches are applied only at the direct request
>From oracle support. If you need a silver bullet (merge patch), you have
to ask for that. If not, wait for the next patchset. I hear that 9.2.0.4 is
just around the corner.

Hi!
I think most of people here have applied several one-off patches
successfully, at least I have. But the issue is, as the name says, the
one-off patches are only for fixing a certain bit of behaviour, they havent
been tested in heavy-loaded envrionments where they could affect each other.
But eventually these one-offs make their way to patchsets, which are stress
tested for reliability. So, you are on your own risk when going with
multiple one-offs, but in my experience it has worked. Others may have
different experience, though..
Tanel.
