Alert: Thread 1 cannot allocate new log

I'm running oracle 8 on an NT server.

I have a system that is mysteriously and not repeatably missing records in the database that we expect to see after a run of the complete application. Running the component individually seems to indicate
that there is no problem with the application. The only anomoly is that

  Current log# 5 seq# 258490 mem# 0:
/oracle06/oradata/dev2/redodev205.log
Thread 1 cannot allocate new log, sequence 258491 Checkpoint not complete

messages are appearing in the alert log. A search of deja news shows some
discussion on this topic which imply that the message is a harmless warning.

Is this really the case? Is it possible that the inserts and updates are NOT being
committed for some reason?

Thanks
