Paul,

   Could there be any difference in the environment ? I am thinking about something such as

          env | grep -i lang
  Less likely to occur in the US than elsewhere, but ...   Also, in which context are you getting this? Do you get it in an anonymous PL/SQL package, say

  set serveroutput on
  begin
    dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm(-3114));   end;
  /

  ?
