Did you trace the listener? If you didn't - turn on listener tracing and see what's being reported as the cause (and post the trace here.) Also, inspect the alert log for errors and check any associated trace files. If you see errors mentioning skgpspawn, this might indicate that PROCESSES is set too low. This might also be an out of memory problem.

Did you consider the VM approach yet? ;)
