If you are using the term "deadlock" correctly, you should find a trace file in the directory identified by parameter user_dump_dest.

This should give you the first clues about where the deadlock is coming from. This will indicate one of two issues, ORA-00060 which typically will be a code or design error on the part of the application, not an error on the part of Oracle, or ORA-04020 which is more likely to be a coding error in the Oracle kernel that has been triggered by an "unanticipated" use of DDL in your application.
