We have been using DBD::Oracle 1.12 with DBI 1.42 on Tru64 UNIX quite
happily with Oracle 7.3.2 (yes, we have to carve the electrons out of
wood by hand ;-} ).

However, we are unable to connect to an Oracle 8.1.6 database under
the same conditions:

> Failed to connect to Oracle: ORA-01019: unable to allocate memory in the user side 
> (DBD: login failed, probably a symptom of a deeper problem) 
> at bms3_connect_2004.pl line 27, <STDIN> line 1.

We have tried a variety of connect strings, any of which connects
happily on our old 7.3.2 database. On another Tru64 box, running DBI
1.37 and DBD::Oracle 1.14, we can connect to an Oracle 8.1.7 database
successfully.

The Oracle documentation has this to say about ORA-01019:

> ORA-01019: unable to allocate memory in the user side
>       Cause: The user side memory allocator returned an error
>       Action: Increase the size of the process heap or switch to the old set of 
> calls.

Any insight?
