Hmmmm....Let's see....

Connected to:
ORACLE RDBMS V6.0.36.7.1 - Production
PL/SQL V1.0.36.2.2 - Production

SQL> select dummy t from dual;

T
-
X

SQL> Hmmm..
So, then I thought it might be a timing issue:

SQL> set timing on
SQL> select dummy t from dual;

T
-
X

Elapsed: 00:00:00.09

Nope. Same thing. This is running on a Sun630MP, with 6.0.36.7.1!

Maybe check if you're processing a login.sql when you get into SQL*Plus and if there's something in there?
