Michael, After rereading your post again, i realise you mentioned it's happening with non-persistent connections also. That puzzles me. Perhaps we are talking about multiple bugs here. In general, I have not found PHP5 and oci8 to be very stable, and would not recommend moving anything production to use PHP5 just yet.
