That's a bug. 10g client ought to support connections to 8.1.x and up. Connections to 8.0.x and lower are no more supported. Connecting 10.1.0 client to 8.1.7.4 instance works. Connecting 10.1.0 client to 8.1.7.3 instance works not. It's a bug, here the metalink answer to my iTAR:

Marc,

This will be fixed - in the current release on 8.1.7.4 is supported against 10g. I have copied a draft note from metalink into this service request.
