Global Temp table with BLOB causing session crash

Question

Hi,
i have a table as follows:
create global temporary table spg_file_import (
name varchar2 (128) constraint sfi_nam_ck not null,
mime_type varchar2 (128),
doc_size number,
dad_charset varchar2 (128),
last_updated date,
content_type varchar2 (128),
content long raw,
blob_content blob
on commit delete rows
this is my 9ias 'document' table thats used to receive uploaded files which i modified to be global temporary.
what i want to do is:
a)upload a text file (xml)
b) convert that file to clob
c) store that file in new permanent table as clob
d) commit (hence delete temp table rows as they are no longer necessary)
to test it i have:
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure daz_html
as
begin
htp.p(' <FORM enctype="multipart/form-data" action="daz_fu" method="POST">');
htp.p(' <p>');
htp.p(' File to upload: <INPUT type="file" name="p_file_in"><br>');
htp.p(' <p><INPUT type="submit">');
htp.p(' </form>');
htp.p('</body>');
htp.p('</html>');
end;
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure daz_fu (
p_file_in varchar2
as
-- BLOB Stream locator
v_raw blob;
v_clob clob;
v_blob_length number;
v_length number;
v_buffer varchar2(32767);
v_pos number := 1;
begin
-- Get xml document from transient 9iAs data store.
select blob_content
into v_raw
from spg_file_import
where name = p_file_in;
-- create temp LOB
dbms_lob.createtemporary(v_clob, false);
-- get BLOB length
v_blob_length := dbms_lob.getlength(v_raw);
loop
-- get length to read. this is set as a max length of 32767
v_length := least((v_blob_length - (v_pos-1)),32767);
-- assign BLOB to a varchar2 buffer in preparation to convert to CLOB
v_buffer := utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(dbms_lob.substr(v_raw, v_length, v_pos));
-- now write out to the CLOB
dbms_lob.writeappend(v_clob, v_length, v_buffer);
-- increment our position.
v_pos := v_pos + v_length;
-- exit when we are done.
exit when v_pos >= v_blob_length;
end loop;
commit;
htp.p('commit done!');
end;
now if i upload a small text file (about 5kb) it works with no problem.
however if I upload a large text file (say about 1Mb) it crashes oracle with:

If i reaplce the temporary table with a non-temp table of the same structure i get no problems what-so-ever. Am I doing something that I shouldnt be with global temporary tables?
Thanks.
