Wayne,
Hmm, I've always used the technique you described
below to force SMON to wake up and it's worked like a
charm. I'm assuming that by "It blew up on the NEXT
extent" you mean that it did not give you an ORA-1658.
I'm also assuming you created the dummy table in the
same tablespace.
SMON won't clean up these extents if there's still a
session locking them. Is it possible you have another
session that has locks on them (e.g. a client session
that was killed, but its Unix shadow process hasn't
been killed)? Also keep in mind that when
creating/rebuilding an index the segments are
temporary and aren't converted to permanent until the
index creation is complete. The same thing happens on
a drop. Do you have any other sessions creating
indexes in that tablespace at the same time?
HTH,
