We have similar problem on development database, 10.2.0.2 on window 2003, it seems that under some
circustances Oracle is unable to cleanup sessions not cleanly closed. i've searched metalink, but
i've not found something usefull. I've tried with window utility process explorer to kill some threads and it works, but obviously is not the solution, at least it may permit to not restart Oracle.
