遇到WARNING:Could not lower the asynch I/O limit to 170 for SQL direct I/O. It is set to -1

该warning是在j001.trc文件里边的
平台信息如下（该信息也是来源于j001.trc文件）

Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
Windows NT Version V6.1 
CPU                 : 64 - type 8664, 32 Physical Cores

搜索mos,得到如下文章：

'Warning:Could not Lower the Asynch I/O Limit to 224 for SQL direct I/O. It is set to -1' After Upgrading To 10.2.0.5 (Doc ID 1155445.1)
Bug 9772888 - Needless "WARNING:Could not lower the asynch I/O limit to .. for SQL direct I/O It is set to -1" messages (Doc ID 9772888.8)

在上述文章中，该warning被定位为bug：

This seems due to 
Bug 9772888 - WARNING:COULD NOT LOWER THE ASYNCH I/O LIMIT TO 160 FOR SQL DIRECT I/O

Same behavior appears and on the same platform 10.2.0.5

当然，该bug并非针对windows平台：

Versions confirmed as being affected	11.2.0.1 10.2.0.5
