Ray,

That sounds quite familiar.
Originally, 9i R2 for lin_x86 was released as 9.2.0.3. It was later re-released as 9.2.0.4.
The 9.2.0.5 patchset could not be applied to 9.2.0.3. At the time, there was no note about it - it was simply a difference of assumptions
(the patchset was produced with the assumption that 9.2.0.4 had been applied).
