Re: Killed session

I have seen a very similar issue on 9.2.0.8 , Solaris 8, and it was a bug that we had to patch for.

Check metalink Bug #6279479 "Index Rollback taking too long to complete/hang" . I'm not sure if this is your issue, but it may be. Unfortunately, the only way we had of clearing it was to shutdown the database.
