Not entirely correct. The reason for this is that the author of this thread had way too big CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME (thirty is just too much) and during that period generated more redo than his controlfile history records could keep. The recreation of a control file will not solve anything, only postpone this error until next month. The only way how to solve this is to lower this parameter to some sensible value (three should be sufficient in most cases, it depends on his backup schema).
After lowering of this value, the error would change to warning about overwriting old records and after some time it will return to normal. So probably there is not need to recreate controlfile because of this.
