ORA-00600: internal error code - any ideas?

We run Oracle 7.3.2.3 on an NT3.51 server and I am starting to get some weird errors.

The table has about 100,000 records in it, and I have only noticed the error three times over the last 4 months.

When trying to update str_notes (VARCHAR2(2000)) I get the following error:

SQL> update ia_customer set str_notes = 'test'||str_notes where id = 30944
  2 /
update ia_customer set str_notes = 'test'||str_notes where id = 30944

                                                                 *

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [13012], [0], [1], [67140108], [0], [67478445], [], []

I can update all other columns for that record (including another VARCHAR2(2000) field), but not str_notes.

After seeing this problem again, I went back to the 3 month old (original record) and tried to update the field, and it worked! That makes it even more confusing.

Any ideas?
