Hello DBA's

I have recently upgraded from 8.1.6.0 to 8.1.6.3.

I seem to be having a weird problem in sql*plus, in that whenever I do a describe on a table it comes up with the following error :-

SQL> desc emp;
ERROR:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

I can run select statements without any problems !

TIA Sajid Iqbal
