Error synchronizing text index in oracle 10g

Question

Hi,
I am getting errors while trying to synchronize the text index on a xmltype table.
SQL> exec ctx_ddl.sync_index('CTX_INDEX');
BEGIN ctx_ddl.sync_index('CTX_INDEX'); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-50857: oracle error in drsxsopen
ORA-00904: "BASE"."SYS_NC00162$"."GETCLOBVAL": invalid identifier
ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.DRUE", line 160
ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.CTX_DDL", line 539
ORA-06512: at line 1
I will appreciate it if someone can help me figure out a solution.
(Oracle database version - 10.2.0.1)
Thanks,
Uma

Testing with 10.2.0.2.0 I do not see the problem. Is there something significanly different between your environement and the one in this testcase
