You could always get around this problem by obtaining an upto date TNSNAMES.ORA on any Names-aware client using the 'namesctl dump_tnsnames' command that will create/update the tnsnames.ora with the entries from Names servers. I would suggest renaming the original tnsnames.ora _just_ before doing this, and having some script check the sizes of the created file (just in case).
