- there is my 250M fragmented
- any ideas why i can't get my one 250M extent?
- have tried this in multiple tablespaces with same result
- creating a new ts looks fine... one extent sized properly in dba_free_space
- dbms_space_admin was used to migrate all dict managed ts to local when
  moving from 9i to 10g a while back(didn't do ts reorgs)

thanks
