Grant select on view returns 03113 error

Hi,
 
Oracle 10.2
AIX 6
 
Really weird this one, googled and metalinked with no joy. Hope someone
has seen this before.
 
Got a couple of rather large complex views. When I try to recompile or
grant select on them the following happens
 
grant select on <view_name>  to <user>

Error at line 1

ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

Script Terminated on line 5.

Any ideas
 
TIA
 
Lee
