Segmentation fault while using DBCA Oracle Database 9i

While using DBCA in 9.2.0 the process would die after working the setup up to creating a new database. This was done on Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 update 8 which was prepared using metalink note “Requirements for Installing Oracle 9iR2 on RHEL 4 [ID 303859.1]“

On the commandline the following error is thown ( screen died ) :


[oracle@LXDB01 bin]$ ./dbca
./dbca: line 124: 6010 Segmentation fault $JRE_DIR/bin/jre -DORACLE_HOME=$OH -DJDBC_PROTOCOL=thin -mx64m -classpath $CLASSPATH oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.Dbca $ARGUMENTS


To overcome this i had to export another variable before DBCA is started again :


export THREADS_FLAG=native


After this the DBCA would succesfully create a new database !
