Why having ORA-24344 error on my query?

Question

There are two tables one is sectors_main and emp_rem_view table. I don't know why i am having ORA-24344 error?
Can anyone tell me why?
SELECT
ms_id, COUNT(*) cnt,
NVL(ROUND(percentile_cont(0.25) within group (order by base_salary),0),0) bs_q1
FROM (SELECT SECTORS_MAIN_ID,emp_id,base_salary,FAR,TAR,TR FROM EMP_REM_VIEW WHERE job_title_id=44) e,
SECTORS_MAIN s
WHERE s.ms_id = e.SECTORS_MAIN_ID (+)
GROUP BY ms_id
The funny things is from below query. if the recodes of the tmp table are less than 24 rows, then I can get a result, but if the rows are more than 24, i am having the same error as the above query.
WITH tmp AS(
select 123 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 129 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 100 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 121 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 128 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 120 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 132 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 108 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 102 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 119 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 117 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 125 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 101 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 107 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 130 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 131 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 104 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 105 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 109 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 124 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 122 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 106 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 118 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 126 ms_id FROM dual
SELECT
ms_id, COUNT(*) cnt
,NVL(ROUND(percentile_cont(0.25) within group (order by base_salary),0),0) bs_q1
FROM (SELECT SECTORS_MAIN_ID,emp_id,base_salary,FAR,TAR,TR FROM EMP_REM_VIEW WHERE job_title_id=44) e,
tmp s
where s.ms_id = e.SECTORS_MAIN_ID (+)
GROUP BY ms_id

Answer 1

this is one of examples, the below query is working only if the tmp table has no more then 24 rows, i am now looking at the limitation of join now if there is such a things in there, but the below query is not working on my oracle 11g r2
WITH tmp AS(
select 123 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 129 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
select 100 ms_id FROM dual UNION ALL
