有网友反映windows 2003 上的10.2.0.4数据库，MMON的Slave后台进程报带有NEWLEN: MESSAGES的相关日志，如:
*** ACTION NAME:(Auto ADDM Slave Action) 2011-09-09 18:00:12.053
*** MODULE NAME:(MMON_SLAVE) 2011-09-09 18:00:12.053
*** SERVICE NAME:(SYS$BACKGROUND) 2011-09-09 18:00:12.053
*** SESSION ID:(797.606) 2011-09-09 18:00:12.053

[kdl_trim]: newlen: 0
[kdl_trim]: newlen: 0
[kdl_trim]: newlen: 0
这一般是由于10.2.0.4上已经confirmed的bug:"Bug 6972843 - Unnecessary trace files with "[kdl_trim]: newlen" text in them [ID 6972843.8]"所引起的，在bug目前确认仅在10.2.0.4上发生，而到10.2.0.4.1中已经被修复了。
主要是MMON的辅助slave进程会不必要地输出如"[kdl_trim]: newlen: 0"的日志信息：
Unnecessary trace files may be generated with entries that read:'[kdl_trim]: newlen: '.

该bug可以被忽略，但是如果日志产生过于频繁的话可以考虑升级10.2.0.4的PSU或者直接升级到10.2.0.5。
