Posted by Sriram Sanka on January 11, 2012

Recently we upgraded Our Development Database  from Oracle V10.2.0.1 to V10.2.0.5.
Today While I was  Compiling an Invalid procedure,

ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [ph2_cly out of
bounds in PH2POP.], [0], [1240], [], [], [], [], []
Encountered.

No clues available On “alert-log” file.
Verified with Oracle Support about it and found that its a Bug{Bug 10400244} on 10.2.0.5.
Oracle Meta-link Document [ID 1358114.1] Will give some clues about it.
Fixing errors other than this Internal error will resolved this issue.
