YES, YES, YES you just stumbled across the BUG that I hit 2 years ago. Oracle's only "advice" is/was to upgrade to 9iAS R2. The memory leak bug is fixed in R2 but many, many, many new bugs were introduced, because R2 is a 100% total re-write. By my estimation R2 is a classic case of buggy, buggy, buggy V1.0 s/w.
