However, under Oracle 8.1.7, the default for _b_tree_bitmap_plans IS false. The default changes to true in Oracle 9, which is one of the reasons for plan differences when migrating to 9, not always for the better.
Did the OP set _b_tree_bitmap_plans to true?

Missed one important point. You can disable that by setting
_b_tree_bitmap_plans to FALSE. Deleting the stats may not be a right
apporach as that may screwup some other plans.

Sorry for missing the important one..
