Has anyone seen the following condition in 8.1.7  on Solaris 9, all 64
bit:
 
    1: The database appears to be frozen.  New connections do not
reject, but don't come back to the client either.
    2: Dedicated server processes amount to ~ 150 sessions where the db
process and sessions limits are up around 400
    3: Database will not shutdown immediate even after half an hour of
waiting.  Must use shutdown abort.
    4: Cannot see what v$lock contains.  Connection as sysdba comes back
to a command prompt, but about the only thing you can do is abort the
instance.
    5: Memory(vmstat) appears normal, cpu loading is low and idle is
high.
    6: Sar does not indicate any disks being hit for anything.  Io
appears to be non existent.
    7: Alert log does not contain anything outside of the normal redo
switching activity.  No user dump files either.
