I enabled the trace as described, but think perhaps i had it enabled
globally already :)  Anyways, i found the statement in the 12mb trace
file, it starts out like this:

Sorry about the clipping - let me know if i can send the  13mb file
directly.

Why is it stuck waiting?  Normally there are a bunch of sessions
accessing this table, but to run these tests i shut down the
application and am ONLY touching oracle with sqlplus.  What could it
be waiting on?  Is it doing maintenance perhaps?

Thanks again for any help you can provide,
Bob
