8.1.7.0.0? This is desupported paleolithic software to which you have not applied a single patch in a decade. And now, it appears, you are doing the same thing with 9.2.

Lesson 1 ... purchase a support contract and patch regularly for reasons of security, stability, performance, and scalability. Oracle is serious software, not a microwave oven, you must pay attention if you want it to work properly.
