XMLType table Core Dump using CLOB

Question

I've created an object based XMLType table based on a valid XML Schema. The Schema has an element which has been declared as a CLOB.
<xs:element name="complete_entry" xdb:SQLType="CLOB" xdb:SQLName="complete_entry"/>
This registers ok with Oracle and the object that this element is in shows the element as a CLOB as expected.
However when performing a insert into this table, SQLPlus gives and end-of-communication error and the server core dumps.
A PL/SQL function retreives an XML file from the file system for insert, here is the code for the function:
create or replace function getClobDocument(
filename in varchar2,
charset in varchar2 default NULL)
return CLOB deterministic
is
file bfile := bfilename('DIR',filename);
charContent CLOB := ' ';
targetFile bfile;
lang_ctx number := DBMS_LOB.default_lang_ctx;
charset_id number := 0;
src_offset number := 1 ;
dst_offset number := 1 ;
warning number;
begin
if charset is not null then
charset_id := NLS_CHARSET_ID(charset);
end if;
targetFile := file;
DBMS_LOB.fileopen(targetFile, DBMS_LOB.file_readonly);
DBMS_LOB.LOADCLOBFROMFILE(charContent, targetFile,
DBMS_LOB.getLength(targetFile), src_offset, dst_offset,
charset_id, lang_ctx,warning);
DBMS_LOB.fileclose(targetFile);
return charContent;
end;
The function is called like so:
INSERT INTO boss_contracts
VALUES(XMLTYPE(getCLOBDocument('contract_82.xml','UTF8')));
This works perfectly when the element is declared as a string and Oracle converts it to a varchar2(4000), but core dumps when it is a CLOB.
I need this element to be able to handle more than 4k of data.
please help,

void print_affect(struct oci_connection* conn, OCIStmt* sh) {
sb2 rowCount;
ub4 sizep = sizeof(sb2);
OCIAttrGet(sh, OCI_HTYPE_STMT,&rowCount,
&sizep,OCI_ATTR_ROW_COUNT, conn->err);OCI_ATTR_ROW_COUNT is a ub4 attribute, not a sb2 one.
ub4 rowCount = 0;
ub4 size = sizeof(rowCount);
