Oracle connect hangs forever



I plan on using Sys::SigAction to wrap an alarm around the connect, but
I thought I would post to see if anyone else has seen this problem. I have
a process that runs in cron every 2 minutes, it processes files that are ftp'd
into our site. I set a lock file so that if the previous run is still running
it will not start up and send an email indicating that a previous process is still
running. Well we moved to this processing was moved to a new server which is running
Oracle version 10.2.0.1.0. I've been having a problem where this process is hanging
for serveral hours (occurs over night) until it is killed. I run an strace on the pid
and it is hanging on a read of fd 6, which is the Oracle tns listener. I don't believe
any thing has processed, because there are no raised errors. I think that it has to be
hanging on the connect, since I believe the tns listener accepts a connection and then
gives the connect process a direct socket to Oracle. As I stated earlier, I was
wondering if anyone else on the list has problems with 10g tns listener?
