I'm currently supporting an Oracle 8.1.7.2 64-bit database running on a
HP-9000 N-class Unix server. The OS is HP-UX 11.0 Yesterday afternoon,
the database, for lack of a better description, became frozen. Any
attempts to connect to the database simply went into a hung state. Any
select or DML statements went into a paused state. The alert log showed
no errors, warnings of any time at the time of the failure. My only
recourse was to perform a shutdown abort of the database and to start it
back up.

Has anyone run into a similar situation?
