Dear all,
I just happen to find out that passing (involuntarily) a null value in the file path parameter of the Fopen function of built-package UTL_FILE causes an ORA-00600 internal error. Of course it doesn't make sense to pass a null to that parameter, but there it is. The bad side is that whenever such event occurs, Oracle executable goes to 100% CPU usage while dumping information to the udump directory, which may take several minutes to complete and choke any other existing session.

This happened on a Windows 2000 platform with 8.1.7.0.0 installed.
