Symantec Incident : 1838034
Symptom:
	When many processes are running on the system with substing "_SID", 
	the agent will not be able to detect whether Oracle instance 
	in online or not.
Defect Description:
	With many processes running with a substring "_SID", the agent 
	when tries to come online might not be able to capture the running
