Solaris 10 - init stops working

I have a really strange issue on Solaris 10 running on v490. I'm running Oracle 10g on the box. Everything runs fine and all of a sudden I get a call from a DBA. I check and none of the Oracle processes are running. They were definitely running after the system booted and nobody stopped them. I try "init 6" to reboot the box to return to a sane state, and init doesn't work. "who -r" reports that it's running in runlevel 6, but the system keeps running as if nothing happened ("init 0" doesn't work either). "shutdown" and "halt" commands work thou. Absolutely no indications of any errors in syslog. Any ideas what may be happening to the system? Any advice will be appreciated!

NAME
Apache::Session::Oracle - An implementation of Apache::Session SYNOPSIS
use Apache::Session::Oracle; #if you want Apache::Session to open new DB handles: tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Oracle', $id, { DataSource => 'dbi:Oracle:sessions', UserName => $db_user, Password => $db_pass, Commit => 1 }; #or, if your handles are already opened: tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Oracle', $id, { Handle => $dbh, Commit => 1 }; DESCRIPTION
This module is an implementation of Apache::Session. It uses the Oracle backing store and no locking. See the example, and the documentation for Apache::Session::Store::Oracle for more details. USAGE
The special Apache::Session argument for this module is Commit. You MUST provide the Commit argument, which instructs this module to either commit the transaction when it is finished, or to simply do nothing. This feature is provided so that this module will not have adverse interactions with your local transaction policy, nor your local database handle caching policy. The argument is mandatory in order to make you think about this problem. This module also respects the LongReadLen argument, which specifies the maximum size of the session object. If not specified, the default maximum is 8 KB. AUTHOR
This module was written by Jeffrey William Baker <jwbaker@acm.org>. SEE ALSO
