There goes my theory (that the client was the culprit)
OK it is the server.
I will now guess that the problem will be cured by restarting the entire
Exadata stack.

Client is same in each case (SQL Developer) but also same in sqlplus.

I'm willing to bet that the problem is not with the database engine but with
the client. The client has to determine the data type of the result and
initialize an appropriate memory structure to receive the result.
I'd be interested in seeing the entire output of the following script from
SQL*Plus (including the banner, exit message, and any error messages).
