We've been using KSDWRT in logon and table triggers (as well as in maintenance jobs for our 24x7 databases that didn't have a UTL_FILE_DIR entry) and have yet to encounter a problem. I trussed a background process that used the procedure and it wrote to the files using the same I/O commands that it uses for other commands (like ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE). For the other procedures I'd do truss the session connected to a development server to see what they cause at the OS level.

Is there a reason why you aren't using standard auditing to capture DDL activity?
