ORA-1555 snapshot too old: why?

Oracle 9.2.0.7

I got an ORA-1555 snapshot too old today on a export where consistent=y was set. The export failed at 6 hrs even though undo_retention was set to 8 hours. Querying v$undostat shows that during the time when the export was running a total of only 150m of undo was written. The undo tablespace is 4g. Why would I get an ora-1555 when undo_retention is set plenty high enough, and the undoblks written weren't anywhere near maxing out the undo tablespace?
