Manon,

Look in your bdump, cdump, and udump directories for trace files. Also
check the alert_{SID}.log file. These should contain further information
for you to use in debugging.

If you get a core dump, it sounds likely that there is an ORA-600 internal
error. Perhaps a corrupt data block or db_writer problem. Regardless, the
files described above should give you guidance.

Good luck,
