I've created SPFiles withe 9.2 on NT with log_archive_start=TRUE and not had
this problem.

If you have log_archive_start=FALSE and you want to change your spfile,
then use 

alter system log_archive_start=TRUE scope=spfile;

Thanks to everyone for the ideas on the init.ora. You were correct that the
answer is indeed with spfile. Now I have discovered a catch-22.

Oracle 9.2, Solaris

1. If spfile is created with LOG_ARCHIVE_START = true,
        database will not start. Receive the error
        ORA-00439 feature not enabled: Managed Standby
2. Creating the spfile with LOG_ARCHIVE_START = false works and the database
starts. Issuing 
        ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG START 
works, but it isn't changed in the spfile, so the next time Oracle is
bounced, the archiver doesn't start.

This is starting to smell like a bug, but I thought I'd run it past the list
on the off-chance someone else has gotten archiving turned on for 9.2.
Thanks.
