Hello,

I'm facing a rather strange situation. Oracle won't startup on my Linux box. The datafile containing the SYSTEM tablespace is supposed to be corrupt. I can see it when I do an "ls", it's 2147482624 bytes! This is close to the 32-bit signed integer upper limit. Could this be the reason?

Here's the dump file produced:
