well, the 1000 is ora-1000


[tkyte@localhost tkyte]$ oerr ora 1000

01000, 00000, "maximum open cursors exceeded"

so it would seem that you were very close to max cursors --

needed to extend the rollback segment but the recursive SQL

failed (out of cursors) and so we marked the rollback 

segment "FULL" to prevent others from using it, when all 

transactions have committed that are using that RBS, it is 

marked "not full"
