ORA-06550 Errors

We are seeing errors like this in our app server logs from Banner Self-Service (for student registration):

[Wed Jul 23 11:03:48 2008] [error] [client blah, blah] mod_plsql: /prod/bwckschd.p_get_crse_unsec HTTP-404 ORA-06550: line 31, column 3:\nPLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'P_GET_CRSE_UNSEC'\nORA-06550: line 31, column 3:\nPLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'P_GET_CRSE_UNSEC'\nORA-06550: line 31, column 3:\nPLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'P_GET_CRSE_UNSEC'\nORA-06550: line 31, column 3:\nPLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'P_GET_CRSE_UNSEC'\nORA-06550: line 31, column 3:\nPLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'P_GET_CRSE_UNSEC'\nORA-06550: line 31, column 3:\nPL/SQL: Statement ignored\n

There is a known Oracle DB bug related to this, and a "fix" is to flush the shared memory pool on Oracle.

Our database is 10g (10.2.0.1). More or less fully updated Banner 7 environment.

Can anyone shed any further light on this for me?

Thanks.
