ORA-01000 when altering table

Has anyone encountered the ORA-01000: maximum number of cursors exceeded error when trying to add a column to a table using the ALTER TABLE command.  I changed the value of OPEN_CURSORS from default of 50 up to 200 and still received the error. It is not a large table (51 columns/about 5000 rows).

Any direction or guidance would be appreciated.
