Symptoms

Attempting to run datapump import with multiple modes defined results in a segmentation fault and a core dumped. For example, this syntax uses the schemas and tables modes and fails.

$ impdp schemas=<schama_name> tables=<table_name> logfile=imp.log TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=REPLACE

However, running it with only one mode defined succeeds.
