ORA-6508 using Citrix/NT2000, Forms 6.0.8

Hi,

(I apologise for cross-posting, but we are totally stuck ...)

Our Environment:

        Oracle 7.3.4 database (on Solaris)
        Forms 6.0.8
        Citrix 1.8 Metaframe (on Win NT/2000 sp1)

We get 'ORA-06508       PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called' errors
on a regular basis recently. We are trying very hard to isolate the cause, without much luck.

We cannot re-produce the error consistently, and cannot cause it to happen on demand - it seems to happen at random.

We have checked - all stored program units (in the database) are valid and accessible.
It has only been happening (or at least, it has only been noticed), since we upgraded to Developer/6 and Citrix 1.8. (At least the upgrade to Oracle 8 hasn't happened yet, so IT can't be blamed ...) We THINK that it only seems to happen when in a Citrix session - nobody can recall it occurring using a 'direct' connection. It happens in various forms, and other users can use those forms simultaneously, without an error occurring.

We have been investigating things like the timeouts, memory leaks (in Citrix) but without luck.

We logged a TAR, but as we can't give them a reproducible case, they have closed it.

Citrix say it's an Oracle problem.

Microsoft say 'change to SQL Server' (just joking ...)

Anybody got any ideas / had a similar experience?

Regards
Oweson Flynn
