Privileges to analyze another schema

Yesterday I wrote a small stored procedure to gather statistics for several schemas at a customer's site.
The procedure was very simple, but trying it gaves me error:
ORA-01031 insufficient privileges

I checked that the user I was using had the "analyze any" right. To be sure I granted it again.
But I still got the error.
The database was a 9.2.0.8. Even here Metalink at the rescue, with note 203220.1.
It turned out that there was a bug. The workaround to be applied was quite obvious:
grant select any table to my user.
Not the best from the security point of view, but it fits my needs..
So, once again, thanks Metalink!
