When was the last patch installed?

My experience has been that these *things* happen when there is a mismatch of libraries. We tend to have many difficulties with oracle patches and upgrade scripts which tend to leave us to manage part of the process ourselves;
therefore we may come up in a bad state.

I'd suggest you verify the last patch and re-make sqlforms(and other) binaries.
