Shared Memory Corruption

[John Walker_1]

I have a server running 10.20 with one of our in house applications.
The application is suffering from what appears to be some kind of shared memory corruption.
I collected shared memory dumps periodically, and if I run 'xd -c ' I see the following entries where the contents cannot be converted into ASCII characters:0000e30 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
0000e40 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

Has anybody seen this kind of thing before?
Does it look like shared memory is corrupt or is it more likely that the application is sending the bad data in the first place?

Thanks

Run stm. If nothing is reported, have the developers fix their code, and in the mean time get them to start porting to 11i, as you only have 6 more months left!
