The break will probably take a while. The whole reason for the O(n^2)
algorithm is so that you CAN break into it without corrupting anything.

Yes, it may take awhile for oracle to recognize the break, as it will
be busy dropping a segment.

The user will still be there, minus some tables and whatnot.

I don't know what the internal procedures are in 7x for dropping a user,
other than what Cary just told us about.

I do know that it was not unusual for a drop user to cause an ORA-36,
which is essentially 'recursion too deep'.
