If your system is *completely* quiet, check out
v$rollstat if there is still write activity on
the rollback segments.
Also, check your ALERT.LOG for messages like
'could not acquire new log, archival required'.
Maybe you are running in ARCHIVELOG mode with
automatic archival *not* enabled.
(Check out the command
archive log list).
