Eric,

Dunno whether this is a lot of help for you - maybe this will point you in the right direction:

This is an OS error, telling you that the app is trying access to data in memory with invalid adresses.
(e.g., long values have to be aligned at 4-Byte Boundaries, their address must be a multiple of 4.)
In C programs this is often caused by invalid casts, e.g. casting a char* to long.

Not sure whether there is anything you can fix yourself, you might need an oracle patch for that.

How do you load your data? maybe switching from export to sql loader or vice versa will work around the problem.

Good Luck!
Karsten
