Hi Gurus
I'm getting a very strange problem. All of aa sudden i'm encoutered with this error both on the server and on the client sides also.and i'm still getting this. The strange part is we are having two machines with same OS and DB and the same setup, very thing quite similar. But we facing this error on only one machine, other is working fine, both are production machines.

Please look into the errors.

Our OS is linux 7.1 , Oracle 9.0.1.
All of a sudden i'm getting

"
ORA-12500: TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process" and kicked out of oracle. " This is on client side, either sqlplus session or TOAD.

and also, On server side, i'm getting this error.

[oracle@cmsprod1 41dbexport]$ sqlplus

SQL*Plus: Release 9.0.1.0.0 - Production on Mon Sep 2 00:47:32 2002

ERROR:
ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact
At this point of time, i'm also getting,
"[oracle@cmsprod1 41dbexport]$ exp help=y
Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

Any one can help me please. Our LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set on both the machines. But one is working fine and the other is not.

Waiting for your reply,

Thanks in advance
