Oracle 7.0.12 and ORAPERL prob. on odescr()

Oracle 7.0 and ORAPERL prob. on odescr() I recently ran into a problem with oraperl 2.4 and ORACLE 7.0.12. Oraperl seems to return a corrupted first column after a fetch.

According to an article by C.J. Jardine, this was caused by ORACLE bug on 7.0.12 and 7.0.13 that causes the OCI routine odsc (or odescr) to give wrong answers in certain circumstances. (His full article was posted to comp.databases.oracle,comp.lang.perl on Oct. 7, 1993)

To circumvent this problem, according to him, was to "relink oraperl in "non-deferred mode". Under SunOS this is done by including $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/kpundf.o in the link."

I have tried that, but the problem did not disappear. Anyone has a suggestion? BTW, I relinked oraperl with $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libndt.a on my A/UX since that's the library that has kpundf.o.
