Heavy use of Java on the server can cause PGA memory corruption leading to a variety of problems like ORA-600 or ORA-7445 errors or spinning processes. Specifically, two or more JVM threads can end up sharing the same stack, which is illegal.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the memory corruption, it is not possible to characterize the problem into a small set of easily identifiable symptoms.

Likelihood of Occurrence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whenever heavy use of JVM is made on the database.
