Yes, the DBMS_STATS package is very quirky in 8i, IMHO. Knowing the bug in DATABASE_STATS, I've written a procedure to iteratively use SCHEMA_STATS instead. Of course, this too has a bug that will report ORA-1403 on the "first" table in the schema, so I needed to code around that.
And for all this trouble Oracle still recommends using DBMS_STATS over ANALYZE.
