error in dump file, any help?

[dorothy]

Hello,
I checked my log file and saw that the pmon has error 474 in the back ground process. Can any one explain to me what that means?
Below is an edited version of what I got with exactly the same error mesage:

Either the session was killed or there could be memory leak problem.
