Help with odd ORA 3113 Error

[Quoted] Hello All,

[Quoted]   We are currently running across an odd Oracle error/bug. We are attempting a simple SQL query, and are being disconnect from the database every time we attempt it.

The code is as follows:

select count(*)
 from table_a
 where usercode4 = 'DX'
 and usercode1 = 'ACTV'
/

From UNIX we get kicked back to the $ prompt, from SQL*Plus client side (Win 95) we get ORA-3113 enc of communication channel (which makes sense, since it is automatically disconnecting from the database)

But if we try this :

select count(*)
 from table_a
 where usercode4 = 'DM'
 and usercode1 = 'ACTV'
/

We get our results back OK. (DX and DM are both values in the usercode4 column).

Has anyone ever seen this happen before? Any help is greatly appreciated.

DB version 7.3.2.3
