Yup. Turn off the event that is causing the session to spew trace. If the event is 10046, which is very rare, you could do something like:

exec sys.dbms_support.stop_trace_in_session(sid,serial)

If the event is not 10046, then the only recourse is to get into oradebug, attach it to the proper session and turn the event off like this:

SQL> oradebug event 10053 trace name context off Statement processed.

Of course it didn't. The event causing the session to spew trace was sill active.

See above. Another way of would be to shut down the instance. I believe that "shutdown abort" can be used for that purpose.
