There are no errors on the Oracle side. The SQL being sent to Oracle completes successfully. Each time, the OLEDB will error as mentioned, but on the Oracle side the query sent using OPENQUERY will continue till completion.

This is a weird intermittent issue. We are upgarding the Oracle clients to see if it fixes the issue. I will let everyone know if the issue is resolved by either a Patch upgrade or a complete new install of the 11G client.
