Why am I getting a 'Memory fault(coredump)' when I start the oracle listener?

The most obvious reason would be that the lsnrctl binary file, or one of the libraries it loads, got corrupted on disk when the power went out. First run a file system check on all of your file systems, then reinstall the application.

    This server (AIX ver 6) recently went out due a prolonged power outage. When I try to start the oracle listener I get this

    $ lsnrctl start
    Memory fault(coredump)

    It seems that for certain versions of Oracle this can also happen as the result of a corrupt listener.ora file.
