I installed oracle 7.3.4 on a brand new server with SCO Openserver 5.0.5. The new server gives this error anytime I run oracle executables like the exp and imp programs under the cron scheduler. I also get space leak errors in the alert.log file that require a 'shutdown abort' and restart with instance recovery. Anytime an oracle executable like the exp program runs for more than 5 minutes in a cron job under Openserver 5.0.5 and Oracle 7.3.4 the program will terminate with a segmentation violation and generate a core dump.
