Same error exists on HP-UX, this is because PL/SQL doesn't return the string "PL/SQL" anymore in 8.1.6 versions.
To correct this edit dbstart script as follows: Change

     from:
        VERSION=`$ORACLE_HOME/bin/svrmgrl command=exit | awk '
          /PL\/SQL (Release|Version)/ {substr($3,1,3) ;
          print substr($3,1,3)}'`
      to:
        VERSION=`$ORACLE_HOME/bin/svrmgrl command=exit | awk '
          /PL\/SQL (Release|Version)/ { print substr($3,1,3); exit }
          /Oracle7 Server (Release|Version)/ { print substr($4,1,3); exit }
          /Oracle8i Enterprise Edition (Release|Version)/ { print
substr($5,1,3); exit }
          /Oracle8i (Release|Version)/ { print substr($3,1,3); exit }'`
