ORA-03113 while connect from 8i client to 7 Server

Question

Hi,
I have a Oracle 7.3.3 Server running on a SCO OpenSever 5.0.5 and a Oracle 8i Client 8.1.6.0.0 on a RedHat Linux 6.2.
When I try to connect from the client to the server by issue command "sqlplus user@test", it responses me "Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-03113". But when I run "netasst" to test the connection, it says the connection was sucessful.
Can anyone help? Here are my configuration files:
Listener.ora on Server side:
LISTENER=
(ADDRESS LIST=
(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY=TCP.world)
(PROTOCOL=TCP)
(Host=10.128.64.52)
(Port=1526)
STARTUP_WAIT_TIME_LISTENER = 0
CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER = 10
TRACE_LEVEL_LISTENER = OFF
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST=
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = test)
(ORACLE_HOME = /usr/app/oracle/product/7.3.3
(PRESPAWN_MAX=10)
tnsnames.ora on client side:
TEST.888.COM
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LISTS =
(ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(HOST = 10.128.64.52)
(PORT = 1526)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = test)
)

Hi,
I don't have a 64 bit instance, but maybe another test will be usefull, try to get a connection with sqlplus on the server but via sqlnet like "user/passwd@tnsentry" I think if that also is not possible it is not the 64 bit issue but more that the listener itself coundn't etsablish a db connection, be aware tnsping is only testing if the listener is running and do not check if the listener is able to connect to the db.
Hope this helps a little to find your real proble ;-), Olaf
