Non-existing objects? (sys.obj$.type# = 10)

Hello,

Does anybody know what object with type 10 means in Oracle?

It is a long story to tell why I am asking about it. But, in short, we are running Oracle Parallel Server 8.0.5.1.1 on OSF1 v4.0 and I think that Oracle data dictionary is corrupted. (sometimes server dumps core with code ORA-0600 -- internal error).

I looked at the source of sys.all_objects view and noticed that objects with type 10 is just skipped in output of that view:

...

  and (o.type# not in (1 /* INDEX - handled below */,

                      10 /* NON-EXISTENT */)
...

So, there is something in the data dictionary and server don't want to show it through "official" view.

Anybody knows what that type 10 mean?

Thank you,
Tim Ashepkov
