Suggestions:

ulimit -v 2097152 in /etc/profile

FYI, the bourne (sh) ulimit command is DIFFERENT from korn (ksh).
(This is really interesting, I wonder if it applies to csh too! )

add a "ulimit -s 8192" statement to "/etc/profile".

These are all good suggestions but, I have already added ulimit's to the
users .profile and I still don't see the change. The most interesting
point was a difference between sh and ksh, are there differences
between the POSIX sh and csh as well. Because the users default shell
is /bin/csh and the program is executed with /usr/bin/posix/sh. Any
more ideas guys?

Just FYI the main problem here is that this DB was moved from a HP
system to a DEC system after a "unfriendly" buy out of another company.
So... the "dual" IS staff is not exactly on friendly terms. Oracle
suggests patch from 7.3.4.0 to 7.3.4.3 to cure the problem but the
development team refuses to support the patch! Ah... the things we put
up with for a pay check.
