It's a long time since I checked but once upon a 
time the main reason why you weren't supposed
to analyze the sys schema was that an analyze
could require temporary space, which would
require updates to fet$, uet$ and seg$ - which
might be the tables that were causing the demand
for space.  Consequently the 'special' code for
analyzing the database simply included a predicate
which said:    
    obj$.name not in ('FET$','UET$','SEG$')
