Ahh ... forgot to add the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable before!!!
So, to ~oracle/.bashrc you could try:
  ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
  ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/8.1.7
  ORACLE_SID=ORCL
  THREAD_FLAGS=native
  LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
  export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID THREAD_FLAGS LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
  unset LANG
  umask 007

For RH Linux I suspect the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL is likely to be the most
influential.

HTH
