I've also queried Oracle on this and come to the exact same end. PMON
is trying to clean up a user process where the user's
terminal/PC/whatever is gone. Since PMON is trying to send the
appropriate message to the client who's connection is no longer mapped
this is the error you get. Simple test for you, start a SQL*Plus
session to a database. Find your PID or Process ID in the V$Process
table. Now at the OS level issue a kill -3 or kill -9 on that process
id. Result is the error you saw in your alert.log. This is one that is
very safe to ignore.

This is the problem with the Oracle backgroud processes.
Talked to Oracle. I have to find which iTAR it was, but as per discussion and results he shown to me, clearly telling that this was the PMON Process.
When user logs off, All the processes completed properly.. i.e. Closing of cursors n all. but finally while cleaning up the resources=20 it was giving error.
Oracle told that, nothing to worry, yr data and Database both are up and running as well as nothing has mishapped with memory structure. This is only because ORACLE BPs DIDN FUNCTION THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE.
So Oracle Technical Expert has asked to IGNORE THIS ERROR. I am still keeping watch and asked him to take this to further lever if the same error we encounter again.
Thank you,
