sqlplus hangs on Oracle 8.0.5 on redhat

I am running a query as follows:

update flash_information

set

            cid = 11014

where

             cid = 11014;

This query runs perfectly fine on one of the oracle machines. But it hangs indefinetley on the other machine.

The cpu shows 99 % idle time. and the process just hangs...

What could be the reason?
