William,
That has been a standing issue between SAP and Oracle for a couple of years now and IMHO well overdue. I worked on an Oracle database a few years ago that was part of a SAP system. It was tossing ORA-00600 errors all the time in the alert log. A quick check on Metalink resulted in no hits, so I filed an iTAR on the subject. After a few back & forth the tech & I zeroed in on a library file that appeared to be the source of the problem. He asked for the usual particulars, date & size of the file and then abruptly closed the iTAR referring me to SAP. I wondered what would cause that type of behavior so I went snooping and found that the subject library was not identical to another plain vanilla (non-SAP) Oracle system and found that they were indeed different. To make a long story short, SAP had issued a patch to the library file to fix a problem they had created with some bad SQL.

Oracle is suing SAP because SAP used customer accounts to download Oracle software and documentation. SAP, coincidentally, started advising customers to go to DB2 shortly thereafter.
