We are in the progress of migrating several of our instances at work from Oracle 7.2.3 to 8.0.5 and have stumbled upon a somewhat strange problem with the Oracle 8 SQL loader. We are getting the following error only in Oracle 8;

SQL*Loader-524: partial record found at end of datafile (/data01/data/hgm_select.dat)

If the file hgm_select.dat is then opened in vi and saved without making any changes the load operation succeeds without error. When we do a diff between the data file before and after there is no difference. When we do a checksum comparison there is no difference. As far as can be seen only the file's date/time information changes. Does anyone have a clue as to what could be going on. The gurus at work are stumped and all point to a bug in Oracle 8.
