Hi All,

Update: The problem is due to an 11g bug with table compression. We are in the process of producing a test case for OSS. The issue is extremely rare, in our case only effecting 6 rows out of 50 million, so producing a small test case is proving difficult. In the mean time we are not using compression.

Cheers
