Thanks a lot , Srini !
I have this feeling too.
Unfortunately , bouncing the instance is not an option at the moment (it's
up since March , 2001).
The other problem is , when i'll restart the instance , the statistics will
disappear , so i never know my hit ratio ;-(

Kirti, Audrey,
I was under the impression that negative numbers are caused by the numbers
wrapping around i.e., the database has been up for a while and the
statistics pile up and eventually exceed the defined format (e.g. value of
1000+ for a format of 9(3) - to use old COBOL representation !). Makes
sense ?
I have seen his before. If you bounce the database, all will be well !

Andrey,
I am not into cache hit ratios, but got curious about your negative value.
So I casually searched Metalink for 'negative value for hit ratio'. And
got
a hit on 'MROC: I am receiving a negative Buffer Cache hit ratio' thread.
You may want to check it out, there seems to be a new formula for hit ratio
computation in 8i/9i.
HTH,
