Did you check on metalink for bugs related to Shared Pool ? You might
want to consider recommending the customer to patch to 8174 . On the
other hand , check x$ksmsp every a few minutes to see if free space is
decreasing and also make sure if you are ending up with many smaller
chunks of free space . All is worth if you see any 4031s in the alert
log .
