Listener sucks up 100% CPU -- 8i/Linux 6.1

Occasionally one of our listener processes "goes rogue" and sucks up all the CPU on the system.

In the last occurrence, the offending process had the name "TNS V1- V3". "Lsnrctl Stop" wouldn't kill it, nor would the plain-old "kill." (I had to use "kill -9".) This time, also, the listener process generated a 2.1 Gig trace file (curiously close to the max file size in Linux) after an ORA-04020 deadlock occurred. This trace seems to infinitely loop through the same adress.

Note: we have frequent problems with deadlocks, though we've have not identified the source--i.e. nothing obvious in the code and suggestions from deadlock experts haven't eliminated the problem yet.

Any suggestions?

thanks,
