ORA-00955 reports when I try to "create global temporary table" in windows

Question

Hi,
When I try to run the sql in my oracle 9i server which is installed in a windows2000 machine,
Create global temporary table test ...;
For the first time, I can create table successfully.
But I cannot access this table any more:
drop table test;
desc test;
select * from test;
In addition, if I try to create the table again, I got the error:
ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object
While the same table can be created and dropped in another oracle9i server which is installed in Solaris 9 machine.
So I suspect that this sould be a bug of window oracle server.
Is there anyone who can confirm this?
Or who can tell me how to report this bug to oracle?
Thanks in advance.
Please also refer the message at:

If you search the text: "create global temporary table sess_event", you can see for the first time, the table is created successfully.
But the ORA-00955 reports when the author try to create table for the second time.
This problem is exactly the same as my problem.
I have also made a search both in Google and in Oracle website and I cannot find any solution of it.
