Just some ideas...
Have you tried to see what SQL run in moment when some client goes down ?
It might be that you are passing some application defined time-out in
some longer-than-allowed SQL execution.
Could be that some query return more rows that schould and app doesn't
react properly. Check this kind of queries.
Are you sure that crash are related to database and not to some memory
alloc/dealloc (let's say C++) problem or anything that is linked only to
application?
Application could not do some client side logging ?
You don't have unstable network ?
Least impact would (theoretically) be something like Sniffer (with Oracle module) to get passed things over network. When I looked last time it looked promising. But it's not a cheap thing. But, also, if some crypting is on place, you probably wont go further with that.
Key is, of course, to find pattern, being able to repeat problem and then will be much easier to catch it.
But, actually, your application is black box here :-)

Depends on many things.
How many connections could be suspitious in a moment ?
Do a test yourself running 1 app with/without in trace mode and see the
difference, try then with 2 and then you might have better perception.
