A couple of thoughts.

  1. 9.2.0.1 is unconscionable. Personally I think running software in desupport offensive but even if you are forced to run Neolithic software there is no excuse for not applying patches: You are seven behind.
  2. Drop and recreate the listener. -- Daniel A. Morgan University of Washington damorgan_at_x.washington.edu (replace x with u to respond) Puget Sound Oracle Users Group www.psoug.org
