Different default 8i/9i column lengths when selecting pseudo columns...

This is the issue...
=20
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=20
8.1.7 SQL*Plus=20
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
SQL> select 'xxxxx' from dual;
'XXXX
-----
xxxxx

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=20
9.2.0 SQL*Plus=20
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=20
SQL> select 'xxxxx' from dual;

'XXXXX'
--------------------------------
xxxxx

How do I change the default behavior in 9i to "stop" the column at the
end of the last character of the pseudo columns (like 8i default)?

Thanks
