BTW.
As reported by my friend:
Oracle 8.1.7 (ver.9 behaves the same way):

--- cut ---
SQL> SET TRANSACTION READ WRITE;

Transaction set.

SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL;

TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MM
-------------------
02-10-2002 10:04:19

SQL> -- wait a lot

SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL;

TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MM
-------------------
02-10-2002 10:04:27

SQL> COMMIT;

Commit complete.
