Hi
I'm on Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Linux x64, and I've got a simple not partitioned 
table T1. Here is the chronology of events I'm running which lead to a weird 
(IMO) behaviour:

T0 | Session #681 - lock table t1 in row share mode nowait; => Table(s) Locked.
T1 | Session #761 - lock table t1 in share row exclusive mode nowait; => 
table(s) Locked.
T2 | Session #761 - Rollback; => Rollback complete.
T3 | Session #761 - lock table t1 in share row exclusive mode nowait; => 
ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified or timeout expired

At this point I can't lock table T1 in any not-null lock mode from any session! 
Also if I run a lock statement without nowait and query the v$lock view I can 
see that (a) session #861 (the first RS locking session) still holds RS lock 
(Mode 2), and (b) the second session is asking for an exclusive (Mode 6) TM 
lock on T1 rather then the one I requested (which could be even the same RS 
mode).

I've also noticed another peculiarity about it - it goes like that only if I do 
rollback at T2. If I do commit everything works as expected (ie at T3 I'm able 
to acquire the lock).

Does anyone know why it's happening this way?

Thanks
