Have you tried the Oracle8.1.6 drivers?
Previous versions were bad, 8.1.5 was better and 8.1.6 seems very good.

Geoff,
since we are currently in the process of deciding which JDBC driver should
be used for accessing an Oracle8i database, I'd like to ask you for some
more details regarding the non-conformance of Oracle's drivers. Can you
please elaborate? We'd like to check if these problems are really that
serious for us as they must have been for you.
Regards,
