dbms_stats broken

[Koivu, Lisa]

Hello everyone,   Is anyone using dbms_stats and gather stale or gather auto in 9.2?  I’m trying to use dbms_stats gather schema stats with the stale option and it just isn’t working in 8.1.7.4.  This is documented on Metalink.  I’d love to hear from someone else if this is fixed in 9.2 and if it can be reliably used.   Thank you Lisa Monkey.
