I had the same experience during installation of Personal Oracle 7 on a Windows 3.11 machine, also in the middle of executing catproc.sql. The reason for this was a limited buffersize in SQL*Plus. Just before Plus generated a GPF, the message 'Buffer exhausted' or something like that appeared.

Then I tried to run the installtion script from within SQL*DBA and it all worked, apparently because of a larger buffer size in SQL*DBA. There are some very large PL/SQL-statements in CATPROC.SQL.

Good luck,
