If anybody is interested in helping me with run a test case that indicates that 
 access to V$views is random depending on what is in the buffer cache no matter 
what user privileges are provided then can they drop me a mail please and I 
will send a test case. It does not appear to fail on linux but it does on HPUX 
(11:31) 11GR2 - all versions
Some teasers are below

Select username from dba_users;                 - success
Select tablespace_name from dba_tablespaces     - success
Select file_name from dba_data_files            - success


The select from the dba views is successful, as the data has been cached.


Flush the shared pool


SQL> alter system flush shared_pool;

System altered.

SQL>



SQL> select username from dba_users;
select username from dba_users
                     *
