Glassfish error in server log related to APEX application

Question

Oracle EE 11gR1
Red Hat Linux 5.4
============
This error is not reproducible but has occurred more than once...
Error: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
Any ideas what might be causing this issue (found in the Glassfish server log -- the entire error is below)? Is this an APEX internal error or an APEX application error? (looks internal to me)
p:118:14:1666724140442501:::::PAGE CALL:

nlns number := 999999;
l_clob CLOB;
lines htp.htbuf_arr;
l_buff varchar2(32767);
l_clob_init boolean:= false;
l_file varchar2(5);
begin
OWA.GET_PAGE(lines, nlns);
if (nlns > 1) then
for i in 1..nlns loop
if ( length(lines(i)) > 0 ) then
if ( ( lengthb(l_buff) + lengthb(lines(i))) > 32767) then
if (NOT l_clob_init) then

l_buff := '';

end;

Hi Satendra,
Is upgradation the only solution?No, it is one of the better options (and my personal suggestion) as PS2 release is more stable and has many more functionalities and features than PS1. The error which you are getting may be due to a corrupt installation. In case you want to solve this error only and do not want to go for upgrade, then feel free to raise a case with support.
