I had the same concern when 0.9.5 came out. I think what was missed
was the fact that only compiling with VC++6 would be safe with the OCI
installation. If you have VC++6 and nmake is compiling gems for you,
you should be fine. Or, make sure you''re not compiling gems.
That''s my
approach, at least.
