In Oracle's case there is an often overlooked opportunity to discover known issues like this before you run into them rather than afterwards. This is because Oracle keeps a regularly update list of issues known to affect their database patchsets.
For Oracle 9.2 you should start at Note 189908.1
For Oracle 10g you should start at Note 279831.1
A valid support contract is required for these notes.
