Append Hint causing ORA-00603: ORACLE server session terminated by fatal er

Question

Hi All,
I am facing Service Terminated by Fatal Error when using APPEND hint in my Insert statement.
We are executing the below commands in Oracle 9ir2.
This is the scenario which I am facing.
SQL> insert into VALIDTRANSACTIONLINE select * from TRANSACTIONONLINE;
1910534 rows created. --works fine
SQL> rollback;
Rollback complete.
SQL> insert /*+ append */ into VALIDTRANSACTIONLINE select * from TRANSACTIONONLINE;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00603: ORACLE server session terminated by fatal error
FYI: The table is having LOGGING-NO and the tablespace for this table is having more than 5GB of free space and undotablespace is also around 650 MB and the total size of insertion will be less than 50MB records.
Has anyone faced this kind of issue.
Appreciate your response.
Thanks,

Hi,
FYI:
I can see the undotablespace is having 0MB free space.
it is a very strage issue.
With Undotablespace Zero, I was able to insert the data having APPEND Hint but no indexes on the table.
But when I create an Index on the Table and the Index is also in NOLOGGING mode, the Insertion is again failed with FATAL Error.
Ex: No Index on the table.
SQL> INSERT +append
2 INTO credit
3 SELECT /*+ driving_site(t1) */ * FROM tru_cmp.credit@EPSARCDV_TO_EPSDEV1.DIRECTV.COM t1 WHERE PERIODSEQ =300;
1999401 rows created.
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX TRU_CMP.CREDIT_PK_IND ON TRU_CMP.CREDIT
(CREDITSEQ)
NOLOGGING
TABLESPACE TALLYINDEX
NOPARALLEL
INSERT +append
INTO credit
SELECT /*+ driving_site(t1) */ * FROM tru_cmp.credit@EPSARCDV_TO_EPSDEV1.DIRECTV.COM t1 WHERE PERIODSEQ =300;
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-00603: ORACLE server session terminated by fatal error
Can you let me is this related to the Data File issue, so that I can ask the DBA to look into this as I dont have access to those alert log files.
Thanks,
