If anyone who is using oracle out there on a VMS operating system
has seen this sort of problem any advise to solve this problem
would be appreciated. We have increased the BYTLM and BIOLM quotas
for the individual users and even increased the LPRSIZE parameter
in sysgen according to DEC CSC but still have the problem. Unable to
find anything on Oracle's bulliten via the modem.

Thanks

          The following images were waiting because  the  Mailbox
          was   full.   This  condition  might  happen  often  if
          buffered I/O limits are reached or if applications have
          the  design  flaws  cited  below.   Also  this might be
          caused  if  a  high  priority  process  is  trying   to
          communicate   to   a  lower  priority  process  through
          mailboxes.

          To alleviate the problem, you might try one or more  of
          the following:

           o  Increase the process(s) BIOLM
           o  Check the application for design errors:
               -  Mailbox BUFQUO limit too small
               -  A mailbox writer with no mailbox reader
               -  The mailbox reader process  is  not  responsive
                  enough


          Other related parameters include the  SYSGEN  parameter
          DEFMBXBUFQUO and the process(s) BYTLM quota.

          Total number of samples supporting this conclusion:  11
