Sean,

This was mentioned here on the list a couple of weeks ago. I chimed in on issues related to 9.2.0.5 on win32 and lin32 with DIRECT loads via sql loader with secondary indexes. I'm not saying that this is relevant to your environment, but what is relevant is that the error turned up in development, not in production.

Turn it loose on a sacrificial server and database, then hit it hard.

You might also want to check out the thread on 9.2.0.5 and DECODE and wrong results.
