Symptoms

Having a 12.1 db target configured to authenticate users both locally and with OUD though Kerberos, as soon as the Kerberos ticket expires, core dumps are generated under agent_inst/sysman/emd directory similarly to:

oracle@myhost:/u01/app/oracle/product/emagent/agent_inst/sysman/emd$ ll
.......
-rw------- 1 oracle oinstall 9809920 Mar 10 10:21 core.10260
-rw------- 1 oracle oinstall 11825152 Mar 10 10:22 core.10860
-rw------- 1 oracle oinstall 9809920 Mar 10 10:26 core.12030

-rw------- 1 oracle oinstall 9445376 Mar 10 10:33 core.14449

The stack trace for the core dumps will show:
