Sounds like the same problem we had with the 2.1.4.1 listener on Netware. Does it sometimes hang even if you try to run a STATUS from the lsnrctl program? Ours did. We called ORACLE and found out it's a known bug. There's a patch available to fix it which they'll send you at no charge assuming you've got the maintenance agreement. We're now using 2.1.4.6 and it's been running for weeks without a problem.
