RE: Online index rebuilds

Steve,
 I have never personall met you so in all honesty I can't say "I don't like you anymore." I tried the 1.alter index <name> rebuild online compute statistics; on a simple index (PK) and got a
ORA-08108: May not build or rebuild this type of index online. I tried the command: alter index <name> rebuild online; and index altered was the results. Remember this index is a PK not a generic index. I tried the same command in a non PK index and the results were the same as the PK test.
OS RedHat 7.2
Oracle 8.1.7. rel 3

No Answers? Is the question hard or do you just not like me anymore? :-)

Could someone just try the below 2 commands and let me know if they work on your system(s)?

1. alter index <name> rebuild online compute statistics;
2. alter index <name> rebuild online compress;

Compressed indexes:
The docs don't say that compressed indexes cannot be rebuilt online but it doesn't work for me. I can rebuild normal indexes online, I can rebuild an index and compress it but I can't do both.

Compute statistics:
SQL> alter index <name> rebuild online compute statistics nologging; Online rebuilds with compute statistics don't work either and the docs don't say there's a restriction on this.

Are these "documentation bugs" or software bugs? (O8172/RedHat6.2)
