Good day,

on a openSUSE 10.2, kernel 2.6.18.2-34-default #1 SMP,
and Oracle Release 10.2.0.1.0, *after* successful installation and
creation of a database,

sqlplus loops.


The package 'orarun' is installed.



A 'strace sqlplus' shows the following (line 1-404 skipped):


---
open("/opt/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/rdbms/mesg/ocid.msb", O_RDONLY) = 9
fcntl64(9, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
lseek(9, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0
read(9, "\27\5#\t\23\17## $\20\34\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"...,
256) = 256
open("/opt/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/rdbms/mesg/ocius.msb", O_RDONLY) = 10
fcntl64(10, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
lseek(10, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0
read(10, "\25\23\"\1\23\3\t\t\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0 \0\0\0"...,
256) = 256
lseek(9, 512, SEEK_SET) = 512
read(9, "\337y\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0 \0\0\0"...,
512) = 512
lseek(9, 1024, SEEK_SET) = 1024
read(9, "\23\7\35\7+\0074\7=\7E\7\265\17\335\17A\'\5K\nK\3 77S\27"...,
104) = 104
brk(0x80ae000) = 0x80ae000
times(NULL) = -1843895186
times(NULL) = -1843895186
.... loop ...

A similar proplem can be found in technet, however w/o solution.

Thanks for reading.
Any hints are very much appreciated.

....rebooting the system (was running since jan 2007) solves the prob.
Well known oracle bug since oct 2006.
