The error means an object is trying to load in shared memory and can not
find contiguous space to do so.
Set your sga_max_size higher, so it allows you to dynamically alter sga size
with the DB running. Also, set your values for shared_memory and
shared_memory_reserved_space higher. The shared_memory_reserved_space should
be 10% of your shared_memory space. This reserves space for large
objects(not talking about LOBs here, just large packages, etc.) that would
not ordinarily fit.

I had a similar problem with 9iAS, MTS and the Large Pool. As Apache was
indefinitely reusing each HTTP child server process for multiple requests
the memory the child process required in the Large Pool constantly increased
until ORA-4031.
The solution was to set MaxRequestsPerChild to > 0 (e.g. 50). It defaults to
0 (unlimited). Setting it to non-zero may incur a small performance hit.
Here's a script I copied from somewhere (sorry unknown author) which may
help diagnose your problem.
It may also help to set an event e.g. event = "4031 trace name errorstack
level 4" to generate a trace when the error occurs.
By the way, what version of iAS, RDBMS and OS are you on?

Hi there
It seems this did not help. (problem was not on the application server
infrastructure database)
And as for the production database the shared pool is huge and most of it is
unused and free.
I am looking at scripts to see if I can figure out what the problem is.

Hi there
We found something interesting, it normally happens on a specific set of
queries, big ones. What we found if execute via the front end (Oracle
Application server involved) we get this error, if executed via toad
directly on the back end we have no problems.
What we are thinking is that the error is actually produced by the
application servers infrastructure database. We are altering the shared
pool and buffer cache parameters for this and restarting the environment
to see if this resolves our problems.

George,
Does this always happen even after a shutdown and restart of the
database?
It might help to look at the size of the free chunks in the SGA. Steve
Adam's
ixora site (www.ixora.com.au) has some excellent scripts for getting the
size
of each of the free chunks.
