ora-00600 errors usually means calling Oracle tech support with the error codes. However, the errors ora-00081 reads out to be:

%oerr ORA 00081
00081, 00000, "address range [%s, %s) is not readable" // *Cause: An attempt was made to read/write an invalid memory address range.
// *Action: Try another address or length.   

which looks like a memory problems.
Your best bet is to call Oracle if you have a support agreement in place.
