Thanks for replying Ed. We did set disable AUTOEXTEND once we realized it was playing one of the "starring" roles in our problem. I opened TAR in Metalink and I'll post the answer when I get a response.

There are *Oracle* limits on some platforms. It seems you use AUTOEXTEND=ON for your files. If so then you may encountered some bugs when your files had extended through size limits. At least there were some bugs in the past. I prefer disabling this option in order to get more control over db and add files when needed. All files are of equal size.
