From one of my previous posts:
http://download-east.oracle.com/oowsf2005/003wp.pdf Page 11: "In 10gR2 onwards, the attempted allocations of very large heaps (>2MB)
by the Library Cache are signaled in the alert log (remember that a heap is comprised of non-contiguous chunks). The following is an example of such an alert log entry:
Wed Sep 7 15:56:56 2005
Memory Notification: Library Cache Object loaded into SGA Heap size 3072K exceeds notification threshold (2048K) Details in trace file /oracle/rdbms/log/main_ora_27395.trcKGL object name :select xxx from yyy where ..."

size 2800K exceeds notification threshold errors in the alert log and user trace dumps.
