Hallo,
I've encountered two times on two machines a similar problem. With Oracle 9.2.0.6 on windows 2003 there were no active sessions
(from v$session), non active transactions (from v$transaction) but
Oracle.exe from windows task manager
was using about 25-30% of CPU.
The interesting thing was when from sqlplus command line i executed SQL>shutdown immediate
the database goes down cleanly, but on windows task manager "oracle.exe" process still consumed 25-30% of cpu.
Has anybody ever seen that? Was a mad thread? What was? Stopping the service made process disappear and cpu go down.
(excuse me for poor english)

Bye
