FYI - we found the culprit. A Tomcat app server had an old Oracle password, so was apparently retrying an unsuccessful login. Weird.

We got a error on one of our production systems that the maximum number of processes were exceeded. I've been trying to track this down but it makes no sense. There are 15 sessions in v$session and 49 processes in v$process
(just 1 under the limit of 50, for now). I checked our other systems and
sessions and processes are within 3 of each other. Can anyone think of what might be going on here? I bounced the instance but the problem recurred. Oracle 8.1.6 on Tru64 Alpha.
