Oracle 8.0.5 and database links

We have migrated two Oracle databases from 7.3 to 8.0.5.1. Unfortunatly the database links in the newly migrated databases no longer work (these links point back to other 7.3 databases). I can create links to other 805 databases with no problem. I've also tested building the same link in 8.0.4.3 and it appears to work fine. Oracle 8.1.5 gives the same failure.

I've worked with Oracle support for two days, and I am certain this is a bug, has anyone found a work around they would like to share please? I have also tried to create a new 8.0.5 database and the links still don't work (so this isn't a migration issue).
