Here's an update. I never lost control of the machine, so after about 24 hours I decided to try to fix it without the use of the Big Red Switch. There were still > 1000 connections showing, and pstools were unresponsive, so I did:
ls /proc > killscript added "kill -9" to the beginning and "\" to the end of each line, ran it as the database user. It worked pretty well. After about 5 minutes it killed all of the oracle processes and the machine appeared to have returned to normal. I've since installed Oracle 81610 and everything looks good.
