SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO hangs on 9.2.0.4 on Linux

I have RDBMS 9.2.0.4 on RH 7.3 and I executed the following command:  

create tablespace wizard
datafile '/oradata/WIZ/wizard01.dbf' size 3072M reuse autoextend on next 1024M maxsize 16385m
extent management local autoallocate
segment space management auto;  

The whole system just hung, doing I/O like crazy. I was unable to killl one of the server processes
which survived even shutdown abort, so I had to bounce thw whole box. No errors, no traces, no
anything. Does anybody else have experience with this? Is there a known bug
(not currently known

to me) with a patch that I can install? I'd really like to use "SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO"
and forget about pctfree/pctused stuff.
