thanks Jonathan;

I've upload the full statspack report to my site,you can get it from : http://www.eygle.com/tools/sp_150_151.log

And I've dump systemstate the trace file is : http://www.eygle.com/tools/qcb_ora_21123.trc.gz

And the output of V$LATCH_CHILD is :
http://www.eygle.com/tools/latch_children.xls

We have close parallel insert for temporary. So, statspack and systemstate is the last stuff we have at that situation.

thanks.
