Luis,

	I am also getting this error, but for a different reason.
	We attempted to use dbms_utility.analyze_schema and boom, 4031!
	Increasing the shared pool size didn't seem to help.
	I don't understand the relationship between the analyze and shared pool.
	By the way, this is ORACLE 7.1.6 on HPUX.
