TNS Listener Fails To Start With Errors: TNS-12537...Error: 29: Illegal seek

Today when i am trying to start listener on linux server then received following error message

Linux: 5.1 and oracle version: 10.2.0.4.0

LSNRCTL> status
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=spioradg.sterling.local)                                                                              (PORT=1521)))
TNS-12541: TNS:no listener
 TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
  TNS-00511: No listener
   Linux Error: 111: Connection refused

TNS-12541: TNS:no listener
 TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
  TNS-00511: No listener
   Linux Error: 111: Connection refused

then check searched on google and metalink and found below solution:

add the following  lines in listener.ora file.

SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT_LISTENER=OFF

NOTE: replace the above bold and underline line with actual name of listener.

Default listener name is : LISTENER

after that i successfully able to start listener.
