We have a system that is throwing ORA-4031's in rman archive log backups
after the system has been up a few days.   To my understanding, RMAN tries
to use the large pool for it's activities.   When we alter system flush
shared pool - the errors do not stop - the database has to be bounced or
the large_pool has to be increased 3M or so.   Does alter system flush
shared_pool flush the large pool?  If it does, then why would that not
defragment the pool?  If it does not, is there a way to do it?  In general,
will flushing the shared_pool defragment it - large pool or otherwise?

Thanks,
Doug C.
