A tad off-topic in regards to your problem, but it sounds like a major
problem back I ran into back when we used to have some Pro*FORTRAN
programs called from Oracle.
We ran into several bugs with Pro*FORTRAN on version 6 (on HP-UX) and
after a couple of months got the fixes for them. Then almost a year
later (and an OS upgrade) we upgraded to version 7 (still on HP-UX),
and the exact same bugs appeared. After a couple more months Oracle
sent us the version 7 fixes, but they were a nightmare to apply. No
idea what it's like now days, but at the time, when you upgraded the
OS, Oracle needed to recompiled so the newer OS libraries would linked
in. Unfortunately, the library locations generally changed as well.
Then, add in the newer version of Oracle with it's new libraries and
locations, and the make files were useless. After about 4 months of
trying to get it all figured out with the correct libraries in which
location, I finally decided to switch over to Windoze and rewrote the
FORTRAN routines in PL/SQL.
So, nothing to do with your problem other than the fact it isn't the
first time Oracle fixes a bug in one release but the (new Oracle
version) developers somehow don't get those bug fixes and the same bug
winds up in the newer version.
