> Segmentation faults are generally caused by misbehaving software
> accessing memory outside
> their process space. In general, this should mean sqlplus, or some
> Oracle component, is malfunctioning, and not the operating system
> -otherwise all kinds of things would be blowing up.

> My initial suggestions:
> 1) Check for patches to the version of Oracle and apply any if needed.
> Also
> check Oracle for listings of potentially incompatible Solaris patches or
> required
> Solaris patches.
> 2) Try accessing instance from a different server and see if the problem
> happens
> there too -as you may then be able to track down some versioning things.
> 3) Be _very_ aware of your $PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH values. There may
> be
> more than one version of Oracle on the server, and this behavior would not
> be
> unexpected if your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables cause mixed
> combinations
> of executables and Oracle shared libraries.
> 4) A LONG shot, but you might also try exec-ing another shell before you
> run sqlplus.
