Got confused!! MDSYS.SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE (8.1.7),

Question

I used the following query to select GID whose GEOM is within some distance from a point, circle, polygon and rectangle. It works well in 8.1.6 version.
When I upgrade from 8.1.6 to 8.1.7, only rectangle one works and other shapes end with a message of "ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel"(disconnected with my lovely orcale:(
(1)Select lines within some distance from A Rectangle(works both in 8.1.6 and 8.1.7)
SELECT L.LINE_ID
FROM LINE L
WHERE
MDSYS.SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE(L.Geom, mdsys.sdo_geometry(2003,NULL,NULL, mdsys.sdo_elem_info_array(1,1003,3), mdsys.sdo_ordinate_array(1,5,8,15),'distance = 1') = 'TRUE';
(2) Select lines within some distance from a Polygon.(ONLY works in 8.1.6)
SELECT L.LINE_ID
FROM LINE L
WHERE
MDSYS.SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE(L.Geom,MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2003, NULL, NULL, MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 1003, 2), MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(1,3,1,1,4,1, 4,4, 1,3)),'distance =1') = 'TRUE';
(3) Select lins within some distance from a point.(ONLY work in 8.1.6)
SELECT L.LINE_ID
FROM LINE L
WHERE
SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE(L.Geom,mdsys.sdo_geometry(2001,NULL,NULL,
mdsys.sdo_elem_info_array(1,1,1),
mdsys.sdo_ordinate_array(3,3)),'distance =1') = 'TRUE';
(4) Select lines within some distance from a Cirlce(ONLY works in 8.1.6)
SELECT L.LINE_ID
FROM LINE L
WHERE
MDSYS.SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE(L.Geom,MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2003, NULL, NULL,
MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 1003, 4),
MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(1,3, 2,1, 3,3)),'distance = 0.01') = 'TRUE';
Anyhelp?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you, Dave.
It is good to know 8.1.7 have SRID work.
I think it is also safe to stay that field 'NULL' if we don't want to use these new coordinate system functions.
We check the error 'ORA-03113:end of file..' and find it is likely related to an R-tree index bug. After runniing the 8.1.7 patch, the problem is sloved.
Someone also saw that problem happened in sdo_relate statement several days ago.
Thanks for your help.
Jerry
