1. To start testing applying 10.2.0.4 which could take some time if you are going to do some proper testing (with all the downtime involved) and then create a SR with Oracle to investigate the bug and create a fix.
OR
2. Create a SR with Oracle to investigate the bug and create a fix since you are already running the latest patchset.

Hi Hany!
Thank you very much for an excellent example of why patchset applying is preferable. A really good example indeed.
