  Yow! Sounds pretty ugly. When you "terminate" the client,   does Oracle server still think it's connected ? Check the   Orasrv process to see if one connection goes away. If not,   try playing with the server to see if you can get it   remove the defunct client processes first before attempting   to reconnect.

  Not super helpful I know but, I try :)
