Thanks Laurel. You figured out an interesting case that Satish created.. This is one of that Aha moments! :) but it is a very interesting one :)

Okay, now I realized that Satish patched the patch edition without using online patching.

So, I agree with you. Satish need to re-do the patching by following the correct path. That patch should be re-applied either by using hot patching or online patching.. Ofcourse the required synchronization should be done by using online patching or fs_clone(if hot patching is used for re-applying the patch)

But, I would don't leave it to chance and do the following;

run fs_clone and synch the patch edition from run edition. (prepare phase would already do that sync , but as I said, we are already out of the context here, so I wouldn't leave it to chance :)
start an online patching cycle
apply the patche(es) to the patch edition.
finish the online patching cycle properly.
