> Hi,

> I wrote a simple application that opens and closes connections to an
> Oracle DB using the standard ODP.NET API. The ODP version is
> 2.102.2.20 and the DB version is 9.2.0.7
>
> This application works fine on Windows XP, but when running on
> Windows 2000 (SP4) it takes about and hour and finally the
> application hangs on 100% CPU.
> I monitored the application using perfmon, specifically the CLR
> Exceptions statistic. It appears that each time I open a connection
> (this happens with and without connection pooling) a CLR Exception
> occurs and is caught internally, so I can't analyze it.
