Oracle 8.1.6 and 8.1.61 ODBC Driver Access Violation

Question

Using Oracle ODBC for Windows to Oracle 8.1.6 database to get a list of the tables/views in the database.
The following code worked on 8.0.4, 8.0.5, and 8.1.5 databases and their respective ODBC Drivers. It gives me an access violation with 8.1.6.
The 8.1.61 ODBC Drivers was able to run the code once, but when I ran it a second time, it gave me an access violation.
The access violation occurs on the SQLFetch somewhere in the middle of the loop.
Here is the abbreviated sample code:
SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT, m_hdbc, &hCursor);
SQLSetStmtAttr (hCursor, SQL_ATTR_CURSOR_TYPE, (SQLPOINTER) SQL_CURSOR_STATIC, 0);
SQLTables(hCursor, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, NULL, 0);
SQLBindCol(hCursor, 1, SQL_C_CHAR, sQualifier, sizeof(sQualifier), &indQualifier);
SQLBindCol(hCursor, 2, SQL_C_CHAR, sOwner, sizeof(sOwner), &indOwner);
SQLBindCol(hCursor, 3, SQL_C_CHAR, sTableName, sizeof(sTableName), &indTableName);
nReturn = SQL_SUCCESS;
while ((nReturn = SQLFetch(hCursor) ) == SQL_SUCCESS)
// after a 100 or so iterations, it crashes
nReturn = SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT, hCursor);
Please let me know if there are other ODBC drivers I could use, or if 8.1.62 will fix this.

I am using Visual Basic as front end to oracle 8 i as the
database.When I am connecting to database from Visual Basic
I am getting an error SQl Handle failed. When i am tring to
create a DSN through Microsoft Oracle ODBC Driver I am getting
an Error "The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were
not found. These componenets are supplied are supplied by Oracle
Corporation and are part of The Oracle Version (or greater)
client software installation. You will be unable to use this
