AUTO SGA: Disabling background sga tuning due to err 604

Also, is the sga auto tuning still disabled?  Where can one check?

After reading Jonathan Lewis' article at
http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2007/04/16/sga-resizing/, I ran the
query against v$sga_resize_ops and sure enough there hasn't been any
operations since 11-APR-07 02:30:38, when this error happened.

v$sga_resize_ops also shows an INSANE amount of activity, each time
shrinking the buffer cache (db_cache_size) and growing the shared pool
(shared_pool_size).

What confuses me is that the INITIAL_SIZE and FINAL_SIZE never change
during this flurry.  Here is a small sample of the output, there is
lots more just like it:

START_TIME         OPER_TYPE  COMPONENT            PARAMETER
OPER_MODE INITIAL_SIZE FINAL_SIZE
------------------ ---------- --------------------
-------------------- --------- ------------ ----------
11-apr-07 02:30:29 SHRINK     DEFAULT buffer cache db_cache_size

IMMEDIATE    587202560  587202560

I'm considering the suggestion of setting decent minimums for the pool
sizes, but I don't see how it would address this particular issue.
Perhaps it is just that bug, and perhaps ASMM isn't as fantastic as I
thought.
