This wud be interesting to you as i too faced such problems.
Code:
SQL> set lines 10000
SQL> desc table
-- Sql Plus generates errors & windows prompts it would exit.
SQL> set lines 100
SQL> desc table
-- describes correctly without errors.
well its because of too much buffer size allocated by setting lines 10000 or even 1000 is also too much enough to genertate errors by windows.....(am not sure)
or could be bug with SQL Plus.
Abhay.
