I doubt it's apache, as the OP uses oas_public - that would be
OAS (aka WebServer V4), which may very well be cause of the
problem: the owa packages that came with 8i are not compatible
with the OAS ones.
Drop the 8i packages (believe they are owned by SYS), and recompile,
or reinstall the OAS ones.
If you have OAS... that is
