Oracle 11.2.0.3 GCR0 trace files continuously created in trace directory.

Some environments with Oracle 11.2.0.3 you can see a lot of GCR0 trace files in trace directory.
Inside these trace files there is "kjgcr_DeleteSO" messages.
For Example:
---

kjgcr_DeleteSO: Processing SO at 0x13068a58
----------------------------------------
SO: 0xa13068a58, type: 36, owner: 0xa30d19230, flag: -/-/-/0x00 if: 0x1 c: 0x1
 proc=0xa30d19230, name=GCR, file=kjgcr.h LINE:652, pg=0
(gcr) state=0x0 hold=0x0

These trace files are coming because of Bug 13385346.
You can find more about this Bug from MOS (My Oracle Support) ID: 13385346.8

But main thing is that as a workaround you can ignore these traces (they are small files and does not affect the database. This bug is fixed in 11.2.0.3.4 Database Patch Set Update and in the Windows platforms 11.2.0.3 Patch 6 .
