Solaris 2.2 + Oracle 7.0.15 problem

Hello again,

Can someone figure this one out...

First configuration:

	Hardware:	Sun SparcStation 10 Model 512 (2 cpu's)	
			64 Mb memory
			6  Gb disk
	OS:		Solaris 2.2
	Patches:	All required mandatory patches + some others
	Installation:	As a server
	Database:	Oracle 7 release 7.0.15
	Comment:	Everything is smooth, up and running for about a month
			
			

	Hardware:	Sun SparcStation 10 Model 40
			32 Mb memory
			2  Gb disk
	OS:		Same as first config.
	Patches:	Same as first config.
	Installation:	As a server
	Database:	Same as first config.
	Comment:	For the first database startup and shutdown,
			everything looks ok but in the next minutes
			or hours, when you try to use the database 
			or try to use SQL*DBA instance startup you
			get the following messages: 

			at startup: ORA-02725 osnpbr: cannot send break signal
			at console: PAGE GET GETS NULL PAGE

Message description:

02725, 00000, "osnpbr: cannot send break signal"
// *Cause: The Pipe driver could not send a break message to the ORACLE

//	     shadow process.


// *Action:  Kill system call failed. Check errno and contact customer


//           support.

	Others:		The only setup change is the hardware ???
			Did i miss a patch somewhere or is it a known 
			problem ?  I also noticed that a shared memory
			segment from oracle hangs in so i have to drop
			it with the (ipcrm -m #) command to try a 
			fresh startup but like i said it doesn't work.
			Another thing, if i try to shutdown the computer
			and try to startup the database it works 50% of
			the time.
