I AM hitting this bug! (the IMPort bug)

Actually it happened to me just this week, and I didn't find time yet to research a solution. And to tell you the truth, I didn't want to engage in a long discussion with Oracle support...
Glad to know it's a known bug but is there a fix?

I tried a search on Metalink and it doesn't come up with anything with Bug 4480940 SIMPLE IMPORT REASSIGNS JOB OWNERSHIP Have you been able to access some info on this bug?

Will upgrade to 10gR2 as soon as I can lay my hands on it. Oracle have been late on this but HP told me that it should be ready THIS week (it's Friday I know...).

Thanks
