Limit of 1050 columns for ANSI joins

What the heck is this bunk?

Please reference:

There's a metalink bug "4369235 - ANSI joins may fail with ORA-1445" that states that this was fixed in the 10.2.0.2 patchset and that the workaround is to "Transform the ansi join queries manually", but I have experienced it in:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW ...
Oracle 10.2.0.2
CENTOS 4
4 gig memory
64 bit Xeon

Yeah, yeah, so I have 1095 columns (For online surveys, those data points really add up, and this is a small survey...), that doesn't mean I should be limited, should I?
Can anyone find a reference in the Oracle documentation that states 1050 as a column limit for ANSI joins? I see a 1000 column limit for tables, but it doesn't say anything about views or ANSI joins.

"Stop hasseling me, man!"

Anyone have a *better* (less recoding) workaround other than to "Transform the ansi join queries manually"?
