Got an e-Christmas card in my inbox. Here is the first line, exactly as it appeared (no editing or redactions):
On behalf of all of us here at the [agencyname], we wanted to take a moment to say "Thank You and Happy Holidays!"
At least, it made me laugh.

Well, I'm sure [agencyname] is a very reputable agency, they certainly have an eye for detail. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

Unless someone knows the problem, in that case it becomes a question.
So I'm trying a little CONNECT BY PRIOR, works like a charm.
Now I need to access the root, so I found CONNECT_BY_ROOT, which also works pretty well.
Except, when I put CONNECT_BY_ROOT in a JOIN or WHERE clause, something that's apparently not allowed, I get a generic ORA-600 error and Oracle closes my connection.
According to orafaq:
ORA-600 is an internal error generated by the generic kernel code of the Oracle RDBMS software. It is different from other Oracle errors in many ways. The following is a list of these differences:
1. An ORA-600 error may or may not be displayed on the screen. Therefore, screen output should not be relied on for capturing information on this error. Information on ORA-600 errors are found in the database alert and trace files. We recommend that you check these files frequently for database errors. (See the Alert and Trace Files section for more information.)
2. Each ORA-600 error comes with a list of arguments They usually enclosed in square brackets and follow the error on the same line for example:
3. Also some time, if we have used many cte's in a SP then it throws same error because of memory used by these ctc's exceed.
HOW THE HELL DOES AN INVALID (PL/)SQL STATEMENT THROW AN ERROR IN THE KERNEL INSTEAD OF SHOWING A PROPER ERROR MESSAGE!?

Simple: bad programming.
Was Oracle written by asking questions in QA?

No, but I think it was designed by committee.

Would that be the same people who designed the Fiat Multipla?
Clarkson[^] described it as "designed by a group of people who seemingly never met" - which fits what little I know of Oracle well.

Similar sort of animal, I would surmise. A committee is a bunch of people that enjoy having meetings, and an old adage I find to be painfully true is
If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be 'meetings'.
Cheers,

You are obviously hitting a bug in the internal Oracle DB code, as you have already stated, more or less.
I would recommend rewriting your code/query a bit and testing for a more positive result. Check the trace files for more info on what may be causing this error.

I've fixed it using a loop, much much much faster in my case. I can't access the server directly, I don't know how to get it using SQL Developer and so I'd have to ask around and then learn how to use/read trace files.
I only use Oracle for this specific customer, otherwise I use SQL Server.
I've heard so much about Oracle, it was supposed to be the RDBMS heaven, justifying its expensive price.
So far it's done nothing than disappoint
Only looping is much easier in Oracle

I worked with Oracle exclusively for over a year (about 2 years ago), and I was very disappointed with the product as well.
Good for you for finding a workaround/solution.
