Hi,

We have a Oracle 7.2.2.3 running on a solaris 2.4 system. It uses both
SQL*NET V1 and V2. Connection from other Oracle 7 clients has no problem.

From a Linux oracle 8 client, however, I cannot successfully connect with the oracle7 server. The sqlplus simply dumps core. The oracle8 client can connect to another oracle8 server with problems.

The sample error output is

Internal heap ERROR 17112 addr=0x81a0e90 *********

kgepop: no error frame to pop to for error 0 Segmentation fault

Has anyone successfully done such a connection between oracle7 and oracle8?

Thanks for any info.
