Listener: ORA-00604 ORA-01219

Question

We have a database on 10.2.0.5.0.
Sometimes we are able to login, sometimes we get the error below (this is from the client, on the server it works):
SQL> conn dba@tst
ERROR:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only
When I restart the listener, we are able to login for a few seconds but the error shown above will return very fast. So it looks like a problem with the listener, hereby the listener-entry:
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = TST.world)
(SID_NAME = TST)
(ORACLE_HOME = /data/app/oracle/server/10.2.0.5.0)
(PRESPAWN_MAX = 10)
Anyone an idea what causes this is?

Here is more info.

))) * (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=10.128.128.16)(PORT=57359)) * establish * TST.WORLD * 0
I just had a succesfull connection and a failed connection, both show up in listener-logging exactly the same, only the timestamp differs.
Looks like my local SQLplus is able to reach the database, which is confirmed by tnsping.
