I am extremely curious. What is the data that is causing this?

First thanks for all of you who replyed to my mail.

Our NLS parameters are the same in both 9i (9.2.0.6) and 10g. As I replyed to Tom's mail, the data in 9i and 10g are the exactly same.

The problem isn't with 10g, it is with your NLS parameters and/or the data. The error comes from the values in the column not from your 88. The 88 converts fine to a number, but the values in your column do not. Any non-numeric values in the column will cause this.
