Are there any known issues with ORAKILL on the NT platform. I'm suspecting
that when it kills a session it doesn't clean ip up all the way. After a
couple of weeks of ORAKILLing sniped sessions (10-20/day), users start
getting ORA-12500 messages - failed to start a dedicated server process. The
base error causing the problem is "32-bit Windows Error: 8: Exec format
error".
Here's the complete error stack from listener.log.
TNS-12500: TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process
TNS-12540: TNS:internal limit restriction exceeded
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00510: Internal limit restriction exceeded
32-bit Windows Error: 8: Exec format error
