Grid Control targets losing Config information

ew year New interesting issues.
This time we had a fellow DBA come to discuss  why this one particular database keeps  moving bad to metric collection error with database not configured anymore.

The Agent logs $AGENT_HOME/sysman/log/emagent.trc showed for this target
011-01-03 02:36:38,423 Thread-3643 WARN  vpxoci: OCI Error -- ErrorCode(1008): ORA-01008: not all variables bound
On doing some more  debugging. this issue  showed up to be a specific issue  with Oracle 10.2.0.3 and cursor_sharing as  described in  ID 422118.1.
The Workaround is to change the cursor sharing from similar to exact and flushing the shared pool.
Please also Note in Oracle 11 Cursor_sharing=similar has already been deprecated per Note # 1169017.1
