RE: "session param valu" in x$ksmlru

Hi,    

  AFAIK "Session Param Value" chunks are allocated as freeable. But you can easily confirm the same by taking a heapdump at level 2 using the following command    

  alter system set events 'immediate trace name heapdump level 2';

Let's see if Steve has some time to clarify this.

I *think* these allocations are not freeable as long as the session is "alive".
Correct me if I'm wrong.
