RE: Odd core dump - possibly listener related

We have also seen trace and alert logs occasionally written to $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/logs instead of bdump. It is almost always a shutdown abort/crash. Of course this isn't true for all aborts. Maybe when Oracle is in a hurry it uses its default instead of the non-default init.ora parameters.

--core dump ended up in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs

i think there is no space in the destination where u r storing the dumps... just
one point to have a look at....may or may not be correct....
