Well, I think the issue is two-fold.
1. They have been tinkering with user sessions, and the trace file
output below is discussed on Steve Adams' website.
PMON unable to acquire latch 80002060
modify parameter values
possible holder pid = 58 ospid=29937
2001.12.09.15.27.43.000
I'm reviewing the settings in /etc/system. It is my belief that
the additional application server pushed Oracle over some threshhold
set in /etc/system.
We are not running multi-threaded server, and we now have three
application servers.
2. The issue with the patch has to do with my inability to restart
the damn server due to an 'ORA-27123: unable to attach to shared
memory segment'. I've asked our UNIX admin to verify we have the
following patch:
PATCH 105181-07
We are running 8.0.6 on Solaris 2.6. There are some issues
with the sgadef.dbf file upon shutdown. This is only supposed to
occur on a shutdown abort, but I've seen it occur on a shutdown
immediate. I do not know if this patch specifically addresses the
lingering sgadef.dbf file.

Jeff,
I had a similar situation last week. I would like to know what
patch are
talking about and what's your version of Oracle?
