We had a similar problem. Here's what I can suggest.
At run-time (access-time), try to set the variable TNS_LANG to
'FRENCH_AMERICA.WE8DEC'. The way you set it depends on your O/S, but it
should be done the same way you set the ORACLE_SID variable. Also, make
sure the initialization parm NLS_LANGUAGE in the oinit file is set the
same.
Hope this'll help.
