What kind of change was made to the object to which the synonym refers?

With some private emails, Chris told me what happened and I think it's interesting to everybody. The database is open read only. But the status
of the synonym is still invalid (beginning with 10g, a synonym can
become
invalid), due to an earlier specification change of the object the
synonym
points at. When you later use the synonym, as in select * from
this_synonym or even desc this_synonym, the status must be changed to
valid because the translated object perfectly exists. But because the
database is read only, its status in the system tablespace is frozen,
hence the error.
If I were at it, I would probably alter session to enable SQL trace (not
set autotrace on) and systematically troubleshoot the issue, unless I already thought of it. The trace file should have "err=16000" in it.
