The services listing of this db was stuck at "starting" and I could connect as sysdba in sqlplus in a dos box, but couldn't shutdown.
Would someone be so kind as to explain semaphores on Windows?
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=176354.1 doesn't exactly explain what the problem is, although I could guess a timing issue starting up the listener.
