if your doing a 'programmatic load' you should consider doing one commit. if you have 
the rollback space for it. 

This is what is happening.

your 'load' is doing DML on the table
another dml or query is operating on the table. you do a commit, the before image it 
was using gets overwritten.

if your running this load in parallel where you are doing DML on the same table at the 
same time, then this is your problem.
