According to
http://technet.oracle.com/misc/agent/faq.htm, the
procedure for dealing with 8.1.5 is to 1) install
Intellegent Agent 8.0.5, 2) apply the 8.0.5 patch, and
3) shutdown 8.1.5 and start 8.0.5 instead.

This is not the same as applying the patch to 8.1.5,
as you will will now be running 8.0.5.  If there was
some feature of Intellegent Agent 8.1.5 you actually
needed and can not get by with 8.0.6+patch (like some
other bug fix, perhaps), you're SOL.
