An associate is running a 8.1.5 db and he came to me with a horror
story.  I don't have specific info on the event, but it makes me wonder
about the concept. 

All users off the db, coming down for a cold backup.  He said some
extent owned by sys in TEMP ts was not released and so the db would not
come cleanly or restart without an hour of recovery.  I was wondering
if I could get advice about how to investigate what process is
associated with an extent.  I am not sure how he associated the held
TEMP extent with the hanging db.

A more generalized question is, if the db will not come down, how to 
poke and see what is hurt?  I have a feeling this is closely
guarded, secret sauce.
