Hi,

I have seen the exact same symptoms when an older client (Forms 6i)
was trying to connect with SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES
set to (NTS). Every attempted connection blocked a CPU core.
The problem went away when using (NONE).

(We never did proper troubleshooting to find the underlying cause,
just compared with a working client.)


Best regards
Ingrid Voigt
