Description

This fix supersedes the fix originally made under bug 13087066.
Use this fix instead of that one. 
 
ORA-3137 [3149] can occur on the server side if a client tries to
bind an invalid / over large FLOAT value when the client should 
really get an ORA-1426 error.
 
Rediscovery Notes:
 If you find ORA-3137 [3149] at server side and then you are likely seeing 
 this bug.
 
Workaround
 Check the client code as it is likely binding an invalid or over large value.
 
Note:
  Please note that this is a CLIENT SIDE fix. The error can be reported if
  the DB is upgraded to 11.2.0.3 but this fix to stop the error has to 
  be applied on the client side. If client executables are statically linked
  then they must be relinked with the patch in place.
