Hi Ray,
If you attempt to load/compile a package that is being used, then the
compiling process will hang on the 'library cache pin' latch. The only way
then is to either kill all processes using that package - if this package
were the 'STANDARD', then I would assume this applies to most of the
processes in the database. IMHO, I don't think it is a good idea to run
catproc/catalog when users are logged in...
