Stored outlines = plan stabilization

Resending this to the new group ... 
 
I have been trying to get stored outlines to work. It seems simple enough, but 
it is working the exact opposite as I think it should.   Anyone else use these? 
I am on 8.1.7.4 on HP-UX 11.00 
 
In a nutshell, I verify my query is using the correct explain plan.  I grant 
'create any outline' to the users.
 
Then, I do:
 
alter system set use_stored_outlines = true
 
ALTER SESSION SET CREATE_STORED_OUTLINES=true;
select * from edi_monitor_vw;
ALTER SESSION SET CREATE_STORED_OUTLINES=false;
 
I can see the outline in DBA_OUTLINES and also in outln.ol$ 
 
If I open another session and run the query, it is NOT using the correct 
explain plan.
 
If I 'alter system set use_stored_outlines = false;'   then the query uses the 
correct plan.
 
I also noticed that outline_category in v$sql is NULL.   Does this mean that 
they outline is not being used? I assume not.   
 
Thanks all,
 
John
