    Sorry,
    I'v got a problem: sometimes when I make desc of any object SQL+ get a error:

    SQL> desc live.SERIAL_TBL;
    Name Null? Type
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SESSION_IDNUMBER(15)
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)
    [oracle@www2 oracle]$ sqlplus system

    Is anybody knows what the reason of that?
    Is it Oracle's problem or HD? As for HD we have RAID 5.
    NOthing in the trace files.
    Thank you.

    Hi

    I found this on the metalink, and i think this is what is happening to you:

    "Segmentation Fault (coredump) occurs whenever I use describe on a table in the datadictionary (ie. describe dba_objects)

    I have discovered that changing the linesize corrects this problem in the active sqlplus session. Upon starting sqlplus the linesize is 200, and the describe utility coredumps everytime I try to describe a dba_ table (I am connected as a user with DBA privileges when this happens). I then restart sqlplu and "set linesize 120", and describe works without dumping core. "

    the answer was:

    This is the bug #842965 in version 8.1.5 and has been fixed in 8.1.6

    In 8.1.5,you will get the coredump whenever the linesize is set to greater than 132.

    hope this helps
