FGA_LOG$.SCN=0

2 node RAC, 10.2.0.4 EE, on Solaris 10  

I am examining data in FGA_LOG$ generated by my fine grained auditing configuration. I am surprised to see many records with SCN=0. These records are all inserts (STMT_TYPE=2). And as a cute little aside, after I saw this the database began kicking me out with ORA-3113. Lovely.  

Has anyone seen this before? How could Oracle just decide to give me garbage for the SCN? A feature, perhaps?  

Thank you for any suggestions, ideas, thoughts or KITA you are willing to provide.    

SYSTEM _at_k31>SELECT stmt_type, TRUNC (ntimestamp#), COUNT (*)

  2 FROM SYS.fga_log$

  3 WHERE SCN = 0   4 GROUP BY stmt_type, TRUNC (ntimestamp#);  

 STMT_TYPE TRUNC(NTI COUNT(*)
