I would compare the access plans... is one via an index?

I'm thinking something like broken index... maybe analyze table TABLE1 validate 
structure cascade; and repeat for the other two tables.

They do not. The id columns are all not null columns.
The source database this one was refreshed from does not exhibit this behavior. 
Everything is identical between them - init.ora params, database options, etc.

Do these tables have null values in key columns (*.id)

This is probably a simple one but definitely something new for me.
Database: 11.2.0.3
OS: Oracle Linux 5.6

A SQL like

             SELECT A.COL1,
                    A.COL2,
                    B.COL3
               FROM TABLE1 A,
                    TABLE2 B,
                    TABLE3 C
              WHERE A.ID = B.ID AND B.ID = C.ID

returns 1,192,940 rows.

And

       SELECT COUNT(*) from
     (SELECT A.COL1,
                    A.COL2,
                    B.COL3
               FROM TABLE1 A,
                    TABLE2 B,
                    TABLE3 C
              WHERE A.ID = B.ID AND B.ID = C.ID)

Returns 1,192,978 rows.

Anyone know what is going on here? I would expect both to return the same 
number of rows.
