Update it to pl1 and wait for 4.1
Or just update to 4.0.5 which will secure yoursellf aswell.

I gave that advice because 3.8.6 PL0 has a major vuln.
 
Always try to keep your vB updated. It helps most of the times. People are not much fancy about vB4.x so it's totally upon you to upgrade to which ever version you want. I like vB4 but my other partner admins don't like it so I'm not going to upgrade my forum to vB4 lest vB comes up with some really hardcore stuff.
 
no need to upgrade(unless you want to) or to patch(as the patch is a querry to be performed).
PHP: 
 <?php
require_once('global.php'); 
$db->query_write("DELETE from " . TABLE_PREFIX . "phrase WHERE varname = 'database_ingo'"); 
echo "successfully patched";
?>
copy and paste that code into a file in the forum root.
execute it.
Code: 
yoursite.com/File.php
and then delete File.php.
and you are done with it.

and instead of upgrading why not thinking to downgrade??(vB 3.8.5)
