select to_date('2004','YYYY') NOT Jan 1 2004

When I run the following  SQL



SQL> select to_date('2004','YYYY') from dual ;



The result is 01-Mar-04.  I was expecting 01-Jan-04.
Is it returning March because that is the current month, or does it always
return March?  Does anyone else get this (I'm on Oracle 8.1.6)?
