Using an array update statement may cause row or block corruption

While advanced PL/SQL programming structures like an array can be advantageous at times over row by row (Cary Millsap's slow by slow), the article "ALERT: Bug 7662491 - Array Update can corrupt a row. ORA-600 [kghstack_free1] ORA-600 [kddummy_blkchk][6110/6129]" found on My Oracle Support by way of note ID 861965.1 shows that not every decision we make is without consequences!  Think you do not need to know about this if you are in Support?  Think again, unless you already know what table holds data about blocks which get corrupted and in that case you probably already have an alert built looking at that table to see when corruption occurs right?
