Wrong results using decode when db upgraded to 9205

I upgraded a dev db from 9202 to 9205 and one query with a DECODE statement is giving wrong results. The whole query is big, but decode statement looks like ...
"and decode('C8','C8',237,0) = 237" If the same statement is re-written using case it works fine. I am searching on metablink but wanted to check here first. This same query with same decode statement works fine on 9202 database.
Any hearsay? Known issues? Experiences?
Thanks
Raj
