Upon doing some R&D I figured out that this was a bug with the Oracle 11.2.0.1 in AMD systems.
To fix this bug I downloaded the following patches from Oracle Support:
1. p11724930_112010_LINUX
2. p8670579_112015_LINUX
Note that p11724930_112010_LINUX is a prerequisite patch for p8670579_112015_LINUX.
In order to apply the patch I downloaded the latest version of OPatch available which in my case was:
1. p6880880_112000_LINUX
