If the parameter SQL_TRACE is set to TRUE then you will get a trace file in UDUMP for every session that connects to the database. This would be a bad thing. It would also be worth seeing if there are any logon triggers etc that set sql_trace or diagnostic events such as 10046 for particular application users.
Finally as Rob suggests can you look at a few example trace files and see how they were generated -- the information is normally at the top of the trace file.
