SELECT DISTINCT causes ORA-03113 only on SQLPlus

[BobG]

-- The issue
This following query works fine on Toad and PowerBuilder yet when it is run
on SQLPlus I get: "ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel"

When I remove the distinct from the first line (capitalized below) it runs
fine on SQLPlus.

Is there some flag I need to set in SQLPlus to get this to work
properly?


-- The query in question:
SELECT DISTINCT t2.USER_GROUP_I D nn
FROM scott.T_XR_CUST t2
,(SELECT distinct t2.USER_ID
FROM scott.T_XR_CUST _ORDER t2
WHERE rownum <= 27526) t8
WHERE t2.USER_ID = t8.USER_ID
;


-- The tables I am selecting from
create table scott.t_xr_cust
(cust_id number(10,0) NOT NULL,
,user_group_id number(10,0) NOT NULL
);
Primary key is cust_id.

create table scott.t_xr_cust _order
(cust_id number(10,0) NOT NULL,
,order_id number(10,0) NOT NULL
);
Primary key is cust_id, order_id.
Foreign key constraint exists on the cust_id column and tr_xr_cust.cust _id.


-- Environment
OS: Running Windows XP (Home Edition) on a Toshiba A25-S207 laptop.
