IPC listener listens for connection requests using semaphores and shared memory. I suggest to check number of semaphores in use and the number of shared memory segments in use. On a unix machine, this is done with IPCS command. You should also look into $ORACLE_HOME/network/log and trace directories and see if files there contain any useful information. You could also try puting TRACE_LEVEL_LISTENER=SUPPORT in your listener.ora file
