Looks like a memory leak bug. Can’t imagine the SQL*Plus would intentionally need to allocate memory for the entire output stream.

The reason for the variability in your results probably relates to the amount of memory available on the heap at the time.

Subject: SPOOL Problem

Hi all,
I don't know if it's off topic, but I met it in SQLPlus.
I SPOOLed the output into a text. When the file reached to GB, an exception "xrealloc: cannot reallocate 706258176 bytes (0 bytes allocated)" occurred. I tried again and again. Everytime the exception occurred with different file size. Sometime it was about 3G, sometime it's near 1G ( and of cource the number in the error is different everytime ).

-bash-2.05b$ uname -a
Linux zszj2 2.4.21-27.EL #1 Wed Dec 1 22:08:15 EST 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

That's my OS. I also tried on Solaris 8, just the same. So I think it's not a 32bitOS or 64bitOS problem. The database is 9.2.0.1.
Have anyone met and solved it?
Thank you in advance.
