It might be the bug.
The Oracle bug number is 1397603. According to Oracle, the bug involves a memory leak in their internal caching mechanism. The workaround is to put the following line in the init.ora file, and then restart Oracle:

_db_handles_cached = 0

This is supposed to disable the buggy caching mechanism. This bug is supposed to be fixed in patch set 8.1.7.2

It appears to be related to dbms_job

Can any one help?
