If anyone needs the details here is what I did. I created a nonprivileged user and then started the listner with the appropriate permissions on the files which the listener uses. Then I did an sqlplus on the database. It works. I think the bug fix wont be required after all. Just starting the listener as a different user solves the problem - I think.
