ORA-04031 during export??

Hi there,

When I was doing a full export on a database, after all the users' tables have been exported, there comes the error message:

. exporting referential integrity constraints . exporting posttables actions
EXP-00008: ORACLE error 4031 encountered ORA-04031: unable to allocate 20640 bytes of shared memory ("DBMS_REPCAT_MAS","P
L/SQL MPCODE","BAMIMA: Grow Bam Buffer")

ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
ORA-06512: at line 1
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_SQL", line 348
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SQL", line 134
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_EXPORT_EXTENSION", line 64
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_EXPORT_EXTENSION", line 115
ORA-06512: at line 1
EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully

Can anyone give me some help?
Thanks in advance!
