It's odd that I can reproduce it on three completely different systems. The only thing in common between the three is the base (10.2.0.1.0) installation media. I think I will try downloading it again and seeing if I can repeat it. I'm surprised that I've been able to repeat it consistently (every one has always done this) yet I haven't been able to find any postings of anyone else experiencing the problem.

I have the same problem with the 10.2.0.4.0 patch set. Thanks for all your assistance. I'll post back here once I've downloaded the base package. I might also try it with a different OS (Solaris). Received on Sat Apr 26 2008 - 19:50:08 CDT
