Interesting, i have never heard of this bug. What do you mean, all of the sudden it will suck down the whole processor? How many users?

There is a bug with some version of Oracle (I believe it was 8.1.6.0.0, but don't quote me on that), where even with NO users, oracle.exe would eventually consume your whole CPU. The CPU utilization ramps up after a db restart until it gets to 99 or 100.

Open Task Manager and check the oracle.exe process.

I belive 8.1.6.3 fixes it, but call Oracle "Support" to be sure.

Good luck!
