Bruce, This may not be related at all, but I sometimes get ORA-00600 [smbalo_1] on an IOT when the "Analyze Table <The_Table> Estimate Statistics Sample x Percent" statement is executed against it. The table gets truncated and repopulated nightly and has about 544,000 rows.
What's weird is that a few weeks ago "... Sample 5 Percent" would produce the error, but 4 and 6 percent wouldn't. Just last night 6 percent started producing the error and now only 3 percent or lower will work. I haven't pursued it with Oracle Support, since we're soon to move to a new Win2k server with 8.1.7.2.5 (we're currently on 8.1.6.0.0 under Win2k) and I'm hoping the problem will just go away.

During some of the testing we have encountered an ora-600 [ktbgcur_2] in the alert log. This has been logged with Oracle support to get an explanation of what this means but in the meantime I was wondering if anyone else has come across this?
