Has anyone seen this ORACLE crash?

Oracle WGS 7.3.3, WinNT 4 with SP3.
Pentium 200 Pro + 512MB RAM

There are two instances running against this Oracle DB. This morning something causes one instance's users to disappear. Following are the symptoms.

The only ID that would work was the INTERNAL. The password defined for SYS and SYSTEM would not work. All of the other 25 users were as if they never existed. *AND* a SELECT * FROM ALL_USERS returned *ONLY these couple of users as well.
We had to restart the machine to get every thing back to normal. It was a close call!!!

Can anyone help us understand this crash? Thanks.
