Dec Unix - Error on create TS datafile

Hello.

I hope someone out there has seen this problem and can offer some sugestions.

I have a Dec UNIX Alpha workstation ( one OS version down from most recent ) with Oracle 7.3.2 .

I attempted to create a new tablespace with a datafile of 200mb. At 83mb of size the workstation crashed and I think generated a core dump. After reboot the datafile of 83mb existed but was not know by the database. I deleted the file and ran the same create script with a 50mb datafile. This succeeded. I did notice that the system datafile was exactly 83mb ( seems like to much of a coincidence to me)!

I did not personally install the OS or Oracle but I examined the install log files and they see fine. A quick glance at Kernel parameters appears to be o.k. Any suggestion? My next step is to reinstall Oracle and relink all the products.

thanks for any help.
