quotes around the 0?  maybe an artifact of implicit function overloading?

Help!  Can anyone throw any light on the following:

I run the following:

declare
        cursor c1 is
        select to_char(nvl(a.foo,0),'999')
        from
        (select '0' foo from dual) a;
begin
        null;
end;

On Oracle 8.1.6 (Solaris and Linux platforms):
"Statement Processed"

On Oracle 8.1.7 (Solaris and Linux platforms):
"ORA-06550: line 3, column 9:
PLS-00307: too many declarations of 'TO_CHAR' match this call
ORA-06550: line 3, column 2:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored"

Additionally, if I remove the NVL(), then it also fails, as above, on 
8.1.6.  I'd be grateful for any pointers.

Thanks
- Bill.
