Problem to start Context server

Hi list,

We are required to start two context servers on one of our interMedia enabled Oracle 8.1.6 databases.We are asked to start the servers(two atleast) with the personality options of QDL.

We isuued the following cmd after refering to Doc ID: Note:114100.1

$ ctxsrv -user ctxsys/ctxsys -personality QDL -log ctx.log

It resulted in the following error:

NLS_LANG not set - using defaults.
DRG-10200: invalid server personality mask: QDL

After looking into 8i doc we concluded that the allowed option for personality is M only.
We issued the following with option M

$ ctxsrv -user ctxsys/ctxsys -personality M -log ctx.log

And it is hanging, and not coming out.
We observed the following in the logfile.

Oracle interMedia Text: Release 8.1.6.0.0 - Production on Tue Nov 14 09:52:53 20

That is, it indicating as if context server is started. After waiting for 20 minutes I have the killed(I mean, ^C) the process. I have not observed any servers running when I issued the query:

Select count(*) from ctx_servers;

Please suggest us what to do to overcome this problem. Also let me know how to start more that one context server.
