Applies to: SQL*Plus – Version: 10.2.0.1.0
Linux x86
SymptomsTrying to invoke SQL*Plus hangs when machine uptime reaches 248 days.
Database connection is not relevant as the ‘sqlplus’ executable itself hangs with or without connection information. It hangs regardless of what parameters are passed in. For example:
sqlplus -V
However, the hang does not reproduce with Instant Client version 10.1.0.4
Generating a stack trace using gdb debugger shows:

It is looping on the times() function.
In addition to sqlplus, it has been reported that the netca and dbca tools also hang.
