Heh .. I wasn't going mad:

This problem has appeared several times over 2 years on these ngs, but no solution has been posted.

Problem: Seems PO8 account was never created in the 9i PE distribution .... oracle kindly leave this taskette to the new user.

Solution:
launch sql*plus...
create user PO8 identified by <pwd>;
grant all privileges to PO8;

now navigator should run.
