据同事反映，，有两个linux x86的Oracle客户端无法连接oracle数据库，从服务器本地进行sqlplus连接也失去响应。
Metalink提到这是oracle的一个bug(4612267)。
SQL*Plus 10.2.0.1 Hangs, When System Uptime Is Long Period of Time [ID 338461.1]
Applies to:
SQL*Plus - Version: 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.1 - Release: Oracle10g to Oracle10g
Generic UNIX
Linux x86
HP-UX PA-RISC (64-bit)
IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-bit)
Linux x86-64
Checked for relevance on 18-Apr-2010
Symptoms
Trying to invoke SQL*Plus hangs when machine uptime has been for a long period of time. There have been cases where problem occurs when uptime reaches 60 days and others as
long as 248 days.
Database connection is not relevant as the 'sqlplus' executable itself hangs with or without connection information. It hangs regardless of what parameters are passed in. For
example:
sqlplus -V
However, the hang does not reproduce with Instant Client version 10.1.0.4

It is looping on the times() function.
In addition to sqlplus, it has been reported that the netca and dbca tools also hang.
