And Oracle 8.1.7 was desupported in the last millenium.

Since you elect to run a desupported version of Oracle you're on your own with this. I doubt Oracle will sell you a support contract on 8.1.7, although they might sell you some sort of 'support' agreement allowing you to access Metalink. This may be a 'known bug' with 8.1.7 and you may need to obtain a patch to correct it; I'd be contacting the local Oracle sales office and talk with your representative.
