Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga)

uname -a says 64 bit. 

So since I cast a wide net, how about just the time overflow issue to 44 years. 

I hesitate to run strace on this particular production environment.

Dear Frustrated,

What is the release of Linux you are using, and is it 32-bit or 64-bit?  Does 
strace on the suspect process show anything unusual?  (I do understand that 
strace generates a LOT of output so it might be desirable to tee that to a file 
and check it for possible issues).

Without the above information it's difficult to 'get a read' on this and 
provide any useful insight.

On 11.2.0.3 on linux, I'm getting session waits of 16070 days. This equates to 
44 years in my math. This smells like the old overflow issue that I remember 
from days of old. My google fu is not working to find anything related to 
excessive, impossible, unreasonable, overflow session wait times. Anyone have 
some info? or a bug number? This is making me crazy. The other thing is that it 
seems to be some how related to slow redo log performance in the log writer. 
But I'm seeing non idle sql net message for client waits and other events at 
16000+ days of wait, doesn't matter which column in v$session I look at that 
math comes back the same. truly bizarre.

Frustrated,
