consistent export gives ora-01466

Hi all -

I have a database (7.3.4 on Solaris 2.6) that is running fine. BUT...

If I do a normal export, it's fine. If I try to do a consistent mode export (consistent=Y), I immediately (1/10 of a second) get:

Export: Release 7.3.4.0.1 - Production on Wed Mar 17 11:44:58 1999 Copyright (c) Oracle Corporation 1979, 1996. All rights reserved. Connected to: Oracle7 Server Release 7.3.4.0.1 - Production PL/SQL Release 2.3.4.0.0 - Production
Export done in US7ASCII character set

About to export the entire database ... . exporting tablespace definitions

EXP-00008: ORACLE error 1466 encountered
ORA-01466: unable to read data - table definition has changed
EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully

ORA-01466 means:
01466, 00000, "unable to read data - table definition has changed"
// *Cause: Query parsed after tbl (or index) change, and executed
// w/old snapshot
// *Action: commit (or rollback) transaction, and re-execute

Any suggestions or explanations?

Thanks,
