    The question I asked earlier about the DBAs seeing write errors seems to
    be misleading - we've ruled out hardware or OS problems pretty much. It looks
    like it might be an incompatibility of some form between 5.1A PK5 (just
    applied the patches this weekend) and Oracle 8.1.7.4 but I can't get any
    confirmation on that from anybody. Oracle insists it's not their problem,
    but nothing I do outside of Oracle can reproduce the problem.

    Has anybody else run into this problem before? Any known bugs between 8i and
    5.1A PK5? This didn't come up on our test and development systems, but
    the DBAs have managed to get a script from oracle's developers that trigger
    it on them. Aparently whatever level of activity on test and dev for the month
    that it was on them wasn't enough to expose the problem.

    I hope someone has some insight on this and is awake/gets this over the
    weekend.

    -Charlie
