along the same lines, my version of the script (it might be the slowest of
all solutions posted on the list..)
The script will group the same errors in a common file. So beware: it will
clutter your working directory with files starting with "ORA-..."

#!/bin/awk -f
BEGIN {
	FS=":"
	line0=""
	line1=""
	line2=""
}

{
	line0 = line1
	line1 = line2
	line2 = $0
}

/^ORA-/ {
	file = $1
	print "--------------" >> file
	print line0 >> file
	print line1 >> file
	print line2 >> file
	print "--------------" >> file
}
